aptitude (or is that synaptic, probably doesn't matter) just seems to be dselect with different colors and key-bindings, you use it the same exact way. I can't imagine why people like it over dselect. And whichever one is the GTK one is even worse, when you select to remove a package it marks all the dependent packages for removale, dselect actually gives you a chance to replace the package with an equivalent without having to reselect all those packages.

Maybe they respect apt.conf.
 
Synaptic behaves the same way, unfortunately. Presumably aptitude does as well. Guess I'll stick with editing sources.list when I need to pull from unstable then. Drat...
