I'm thinking that the apt side hasing been as well maintained because 
it's a fast-changing beta situation. Freshrpms.net has a rawhide repo, I 
had some trouble accessing it with the fedora.us apt package though. 
Someone mentioned using -t to make it look at other vendors, or 
something. Fedora.us is working out how best to to propagate updates 
from redhat to it's repos. But the transisition at fedora.us will be 
spread out over months.
