As one who only recently came from RH 5.2 to Debian slink->potato, the problems
you mentioned don't happen with apt-get. The install process is relatively
similar. I installed the base and then installed individual packages as
needed. As a result, I probably haven't pushed the envelope but AFAICS apt-get
beats rpm, hands down.
