To uninstall something with aptitude:

aptitude remove something

I tried to uninstall ftp on stedile to make dkg happy, and there is no uninstall command so I got the help text
which concluded with, "This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers."
aptitude remove proftpd
is the syntax for uninstalling. That might change with super cow powers though.

Resolution

Searched words: 
apt-get uninstall
