Cupt does not have multi-arch at all as far as I know. Apt2 does not do anything
useful at all, it's mostly vaporware at the moment. PackageKit is far too high-level
to replace anything aptitude does.

Some functionality of aptitude has been included in APT itself recently, such
as the 'download', 'changelog' commands.
