It's in Fedora Extras right now for all systems. Everything available
via YUM is also available via APT. "yum install apt"

- fixing the problems with APT. No multilib, poor failover, etc.
Search through the fedora-devel-list archives. There are dozens of
messages discussing why YUM is used rather than APT.
Summary: Yes, YUM isn't perfect. No, APT can't replace it feature-for-
feature. Can APT be supported in addition to YUM? It has always been
in Fedora Extras.
