Because aptitude is the successor to apt-get, endorsed by the community
that does all the packaging for this OS, is more stable, and has better
dependency handling (indeed, promotes better dependency setting). It
makes no sense to keep a less feature-rich and complete tool that has
long been replaced. Space on the CD was the original reason (along with
some canonical employee saying it was 'too complex' for some reason)
