I like apt as well, and to fully be able using alternative repositories
as well (to get the "universe") without changing core/fedora.us/livna
packages to avoid dependency problems i set /etc/apt/preferences the
following way:

------ quote ------

Explanation: base os
Package: *
Pin: release c=os
Pin-Priority: 993

Explanation: updates
Package: *
Pin: release c=updates
Pin-Priority: 993

Explanation: stable
Package: *
Pin: release c=stable
Pin-Priority: 993

------- end quote ------

So I can add any repository I want to apt and keep the core system
vanilla.

Hope that helps,
regards
Markus
