I don't see this as a bug. aptitude is showing the user what the
dependency means. The fact that we use "<<" instead of "<" internally
due to historical bugs in dpkg is not relevant to the user.
apt-cache is a query tool used to directly test and manipulate the
low-level apt database; its "show" routine just dumps a section of the
Packages file to screen. aptitude is showing you a processed and
formatted version of the data, and that includes converting non-standard
internal operators to standard mathematical operators.
I see what you are saying. I was expecting aptitude to show me what I wrote
in the control file. Please feel free to mark this bug as wontfix.
Closing report, because there are not very compelling reasons to change
this by now, it was not seconded even if open for more than 6 years, and
there is not point to keep these bugs around forever if they are not
going to be addressed.
