Like apt has no problems:

1.) dpkg-compabability issues  
2.) apt checks *your* rpm database and not a repo 
3.) non native package listings
4.) apt will install using: rpm -i --nodeps --noorder

If you think any of the above are not current or serious
quality issues that apt users complain about, run a google 
on any of them. Also, I can add more, but these are some
of the more serious issues with apt (As I see it).

We have a couple of debian boxes I maintain. So, don't tell
me that apt won't hoark a debian installation. I know better.
Also, I'm not going to get into other issues that regarding
what wrong with debian (I've got a list) because this is the 
*FEDORA* mailing list, not the debian list.
