[Bug 315343] [NEW] command-not-found should suggest using aptitude not apt-get

[Scott Zawalski]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found

While this is similar to bug:

I didn't want to hijack it.

Basically I think the suggestion of using sudo apt-get install XXXX
should be changed to sudo aptitude install XXXX.

Aptitude is a lot better at dependency removal than apt-get, unless this
has recently changed and I am mistaken? My understanding is that
aptitude adds more data to the db when installing packages that apt-get
does not pay attention to. As such it seems it would be more
advantageous for users to use aptitude for installing packages they may
remove later than apt-get.
