One less difference from Debian... I wonder if they are secretly regretting having forked from dpkg and deb into rpm? The point is, this rpm/deb division is unfortunate, and was begun by Red Hat on the excuse of expediency. Conectiva has already adopted apt, but not dpkg and deb. Hopefully dpkg 2 will be the standard, mixing rpm elements such as signatures as per ongoing conversations. Each time rpm-based distros have less differentiation; time someone should think of borging into Debian... perhaps as subprojects. Debian certainly could use the manpower.
