You are hitting the nail square on the head here. It's set to stable (both systems), but changing it to testing makes the aptitude install work just fine! Looks like it's a question of pushing the dependency resolver into setting different priorities. Btw when doing this on a running system, grub's menu.lst isn't updated, but on a new install it just installs the new kernel and a corresponding menu.lst. Thanks for your tip Matthew!
