A diff from the Debian version would be more convenient to review.
Anyway …

+aptitude (0.6.8.2-1ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
+
+  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP #1103541)
+    Remaining changes:
+    - debian/05aptitude: Never autoremove kernels.

Can now be removed, closing the two bugs refered to in an earlier
comment.

+    - Drop aptitude-doc to Suggests.

+    - 03_branding: Ubuntu branding.
+    - 04_changelog: Take changelogs from changelogs.ubuntu.com.

There are easily addressed open bug reports about these two patches.

03_branding has no changes at all and is still missing some strings as
reported on Launchpad.

04_changelog continues to contain branding changes that could be moved
to 03_branding.  The update to this patch is significant, have you
confirmed that the proposed package can download changelogs, and
fetches them from the correct server?  The changelog entry does not
mention closing bug #1053792; do you not consider that bug closed by
this updated patch?

Please peruse the list of open bug reports.  Search term “ubuntu
patch” will direct you to a limited, yet relevant set.  Of course,
there may be other bugs outside this set that are closed by the
upstream changes and should also be mentioned.

+    - 14_html2text_preferred: Switch back to html2text in favor of elinks,
+      since html2text is in main and elinks isn't. Convert all files to utf-8
+      encoding as it is better then ascii for iso-8859-1 (English docs).
+    - no-google-mock: dropped since package exists in main.
