aptitude just relys on apt's calculation of download rate, so I'm
reassigning to apt. I personally doubt this will be "fixed", though: apt
displays the current download rate, and so naturally if nothing is being
downloaded for long periods of time it'll say "stalled". I consider this a
feature.
(maybe this should be reassigned to apt-proxy, actually, since it would
ideally stream data out to clients as it receives it)
