that's why i think both should be included; but only one in the main
distribution. the other in powertools.
please read http://bazar.conectiva.com.br/~godoy/apt-howto/. it's very easy
to make redhat apt-enabled and offering apt is something that would benefit
those who like it and dislike it.
apt is much more than a tool to update the system. it's a tool to install
packages. with it, people don't have to care about what package provides a
library, on which cd a package is and many other things that make some people
think dpkg is better than rpm, when apt is better than what rpm users use to
install their packages.
