Althuogh it's not exactly what is requested, apt-listbugs can be used
for this.  It has the nice property that not only runs with aptitude.

Apart from that, getting data from the network --specially in programs
running as root [at least part of the time]-- is highly problematic, and
the feature is quite non-trivial to implement and maintain.

So I am closing this as +wontfix, because unless somebody would step up
to implement and maintain the feature it wouldn't happen, and it's been
laying there already for more than 4 years without receiving any
attention.


Cheers.
