I think so: aptitude uses libapt, not apt it self, but 'wasting' disk
space on desktiop is minimal.
It looks like apt-* is directly used by Hildon Application Manager.

When I started porting aptitude on Maemo I supposed to use in mostly
in Scrachebox/Maemo SDK, not on real device.
I really hate apt-get/cache in Scratchbox (compare output of
'apt-cache search' and 'aptitude search' )
