If Samsung, Limo and SLP are calling the shots it will back to .deb again.
Intel decision makers are just full of crap PERIOD

Yep. As flopping around package managers is rightfully considered the most critical activity in getting a distribution going.

Android seems to get by fine without a package manager.

Spending any time switching between package manager formats must be one of the most futile ways you can waste your life away.

For user applications maybe. But it's not at all like dpkg or rpm.
