JFTR: This is close to the version Squeeze and Natty:
Debian Squeeze currently has 0.6.3-3.2+squeeze1
Ubuntu Natty currently has 0.6.3-3.2ubuntu1

I think we run into the same problem on those of our workstations
which run Ubuntu Precise (and so far only there). Precise currently
has version 0.6.6-1ubuntu1. So without this bug report I'd have
expected this issue to be more recent, but it sounds very similar to
what we experienced.
Scenario:
Both, kde-plasma-netbook and plasma-netbook are installed and not
marked as automatically installed, but kde-plasma-netbook depends on
plasma-netbook and it's plasma-netbook's only reverse dependency.
Now if I try to remove plasma-netbook, the obvious solution is to
remove kde-plasma-netbook, too. Interestingly aptitude does so, but
also tries to remove hundreds of unrelated packages.
# aptitude remove plasma-netbook
The following packages will be REMOVED:
plasma-netbook
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1,012 kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde-plasma-netbook : Depends: plasma-netbook (>= 4:4.8.2) but it is not going to be installed.

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] ^C
Even after a handful of further solutions it doesn't find the obvious
one. Happens on the commandline as well as in TUI mode.
Besides the strange solutions I noticed also the following error message:
Internal error: the solver Install(fontconfig-config:amd64 2.8.0-3ubuntu9 <libfontconfig1:i386 2.8.0-3ubuntu9 -> {fontconfig-config:amd64 2.8.0-3ubuntu9}>) of a supposedly unresolved dependency is already installed in step 1271
I think at least this internal error is fixed in more recent aptitude
versions, so we'll try to reproduce the issue with a more recent
version and with one from Debian, e.g. from Wheezy.
I also already created an state bundle in case that's of help.
Regards, Axel
