What are you appealing to here? d-i no longer installs aptitude; reasons
have been given. This fact may or may not eventually appear in the
release notes; reading them is no more onerous than reading some random
web page.

Your argument appears to be based on the state of a person's eyesight.
It also makes assertions about the state of mine. This is out of line;
you have no knowledge about the state of my sight (and never will).

Please refrain from framing aruments in terms of preconceptions or
agendas,
