Libguestfs - May 2010 - [PATCH ubuntu repost] Ubuntu: Use apt-get instead of aptitude when installing guestfsd.

Previously posted here:

I can't get aptitude to work under debirf (not on Ubuntu anyway), so
using apt-get is necessary for me.

Since this only affects one script I can keep a patch in Debian to use
aptitude (so we get clever dependency resoluton). Best fix would be to
look at something like /etc/debian_version and select the right tool
(UMTS unfortunately isn't reliable enough here to google what should be
used to detect Ubuntu).
