Hi Olle,
Synaptic & apt are included in the K12LTSP versions of FC3 & FC4.
I'm guessing one of three things:
1) you installed vanilla FC3 or FC4. In this case, just run:
yum install apt synaptic
and you'll be in business
-or-
2) you have apt & synaptic installed, but don't like how it works
in FC3/FC4. In this case, file a bug report or feature request...
apt & synaptic are maintained in Fedora Extras. The Fedora Extras
bugzilla is at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
-or-
3) I completely missed your point...
