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?
