That isn't true. Apt-rpm (not Apt itself) has support for multi lib and
works with repomd format used by Yum. It is maintained by the same
person in Red Hat, Panu who maintains RPM now. No less.

The current story is that Red Hat folks either officially or volunterily
are involved with RPM, yum, apt-rpm and a port of Adept to Fedora. Amusing?
