I also think it could be a very very good idea to rewrite it in C.
This is an important part of the consumption, and if i was written in C,
the system memory require would easily be less than 3MB (It's a fact,
look at studies over the Internet).

Title:
aptdaemon consumes more than 2-3 MByte of system memory
Status in Aptdaemon:
Invalid
Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
aptd daemon uses about 10x more RAM than it should: 13MB!!!
This daemon performs a tiny peripheral task yet it is the 3rd most RAM
hungry process on a fresh Ubuntu installation, behind only XOrg and
Compiz.
This is inexplicable to implement such marginal services in VM-based
languages and ship them as part of a core OS distribution. Ubuntu runs
about 100 processes by default and if each of them needed 13MB just to
sit and do nothing we would have needed 1.3GB just to boot.
