Noted. I've switched the script to use apt-get for now, since it's the "standard" way to do things in Ubuntu.
I was unaware that the package databases were not synchronized. That's not made clear but after a little Googling, it looks like this problem has bitten others as well. Apparently the magic incantation needed is "aptitude keep-all", but I'm not willing to put that in the script, since it would tamper with the package database in ways most users wouldn't expect. Safer just to use apt-get, I think...
