What are you appealing to here? d-i no longer installs aptitude; reasons have been given. This fact may or may not eventually appear in the release notes; reading them is no more onerous than reading some random web page. Your argument appears to be based on the state of a person's eyesight. It also makes assertions about the state of mine. This is out of line; you have no knowledge about the state of my sight (and never will). Please refrain from framing aruments in terms of preconceptions or agendas,
