A few questions from a possible future contributor (so please turn down the flame throwers as I mean well)
I've seen the term mentioned here many times, I've looked in the docs but can't find the meaning (so it must be slang). What is a tarball? On the thread of .deb vs .rpm.... From Maximum RPM I see that rpm will actually build the package from original sources ie: apply patches to the source, then build from your makefile the binaries, and make the .rpm package file. I get the idea that dpkg should do the same, right? (Or is it not quite as automated?) Sorry but Redhat's book is better written than dpkg documentation. Maybe that's why Bruce wanted to use rpm? Other than one is free and the other is not quite... what are the tradeoffs between Qt and Gtk? (I'm slightly leaning toward Gtk right now).
