Apt is a replacement for dselect, not dpkg. It is front-end to dpkg,
so the '.deb' packaging scheme is the same. It currently has only a
command-line interface. However it also installs itself as a 'access'
method under dselect. dselect/apt is better than dselect/ftp.
'make-kpkg' is supposed to be the Debian Way(TM), although, being lazy,
I still go the old zlilo/zImage route.
