From a little experimentation, it looks like the issue is that
aptitude with --schedule-only doesn't run the general
dependency-resolver, so that in your case when the `aptitude search`
ran it didn't know yet that it had a problem that it was going to
"fix" by removing debathena-workstation and other packages. Only when
it hit the `aptitude install` just after the snippet quoted below
did it make that decision.
It seems unfortunate that --schedule-only actually changes the
behavior of aptitude. Possibly this should be reported and pursued
as a bug.
