Looks like this might be a multi-arch issue: #651748 (bugs.d.o), which is fixed in 0.6.6. Please confirm whether this is resolved once that version reaches Ubuntu.

Bump. Is this being discussed?

I cannot make use of ppa-purge (which apparently uses aptitude internally) right now as it tries to uninstall the whole system.
