I'm not sure I've well described my request : I don't only want to install aptitude during FAI installation, but also that FAI uses aptitude instead of apt-get to install all packages defined in packages/* files : is it possible ?
About the package dependencies, aptitude marks packages installed as a dependance of other ones, and can later remove it automatically when all its requesters have been removed...
