Do you really think, that Debian uses only main/contrib/non-free sections? And "APT-RPM uses more frendly audio/devel/etc." sections? In Debian i see audio, devel, contrib/graphics, non-free/web, etc. And the Non-US sections too. :)

Please, avoid quoting something you haven't read.

I never said that the APT-RPM component model was more friendly. I said that the *Conectiva Linux* component model was more *finely grained*, and that's true. We have about 30 components in our repository now. Also notice that I haven't said that this was better than the Debian model. I said it was different, and I have implemented the meta-component concept to improve the user experience.
