[Bug 1569168] Re: Missing sucessor for obsolete package

[Axel Beckert]

Either the according package lists its successor(s) in the Depends field
(then it's usually called "transitional package") or there is no
(direct) successor at all. That can also happen.

Aptitude doesn't know more than the package (list) tells it.

Or do you have a different idea how Aptitude should list successor
packages?
