aptitude's UI is not going back, it was the only ever functional
interface since the start, so it would be more precise to say "it
remains in the 90s" :-)
GTK and Qt were just WIP that never really prospered or worked (*).
Qt was never even enabled by default, and GTK was but due to not
working at all we disabled it in 2012 and nobody complained, nor
volunteered to work on it, and GTK2 and Qt4 are not very future-proof.
So well, this is the current state.
I am going to close the bug report then, since I suppose that you can
now compile but are uninterested.
(*) There are several advantages with the aptitude's curses interface,
like being able to work without much changes (e.g. moving to GTK3 and
Qt5) and being able to operate in remote machines the same that one
does locally, which is probably why people are more interested in the
curses one that in the GUI ones.
Cheers.
