Sure do :-)
But "aptitude<TAB>" just beeps.
"aptitude -h" lists all the available options.

Hm, I can't think of any settings in my RCs that would break the aptitude
completion but probably there is one, right?  I'll attach my completion
options to this mail.  Maybe one of them jumps at your eye...?

But then again... I tried the following:

condor:~>zsh -f
condor% echo $ZSH_VERSION 
4.2.5
condor% autoload -U compinit
condor% compinit -u
condor% xauth <TAB>
?         -- list available commands
add       -- add entry
exit      -- save changes and exit program
extract   -- extract entries into file
generate  -- use server to generate entry
help      -- print help
info      -- print information about entries
list      -- list entries
merge     -- merge entries from files
nextract  -- numerically extract entries
nlist     -- numerically list entries
nmerge    -- numerically merge entries
quit      -- abort changes and exit program
remove    -- remove entries
source    -- read commands from file

condor% aptitude <TAB>
BEEP

condor% aptitude --<TAB>
--assume-yes          -- assume yes answer to questions
--display-format      -- specify output format for search command
--download-only       -- just download packages - don't install
--help                -- display help information
--prompt              -- always display a prompt
--show-deps           -- show brief explanations of automatic installations and removals
--show-versions       -- show which versions of packages will be installed
--simulate            -- print actions without performing them
--sort                -- specify sort order
--verbose             -- causes some commands to display extra information
--version             -- display version information
--width               -- specify output width
--with-recommends     -- install recommended packages when installing new packages
--with-suggests       -- install suggested packages when installing new packages
--without-recommends  -- ignore recommended packages when installing new packages
--without-suggests    -- ignore suggested packages when installing new packages

So, xauth completion works but aptitude not.  Strange, isn't it?

> You could also look at _xauth but that doesn't handle options.
Ah, great, thanks!

Have a nice weekend,
 Andy.
