Summary:                    [patch] install_prereq does not work on Debian 5
Description: 
the install_prereq script does not work anymore on Debian 5
Tested with a clean install using the netinstaller iso.
This is because the dpkg-query -W command will return 'no such package'
for almost all the packages.

This patch replaces this command with aptitude.
I also replaced the apt-get to install the pakages with aptitude because
this is now the preferred command is Debian.

use aptitude for debian based systems

The function to check wether we need to install packages was using
dpkg-query which was gives wrong output on Debian 5

Also, the apt-get has been replaced with aptitude because aptitude
is now the preferred way to handle packages on Debian
