Sure, switching Debian to RPM wouldn't cause world peace overnight but it would remove a significant technical barrier to cross-distribution coordination of packaging guidelines. I think there'd be a lot more societal/peer pressure to standardize packaging guidelines once there were no technical barriers to doing so. ISV pressure would be more effective in this case as well.
