Well the packages from development are not GPG-signed like it says and the
fedora.us apt is configured by default to disallow installing unsigned
packages and packages with unknown signature. Run with "-o
rpm::gpg-check=false" to temporarily disable, or change the configuration
permanently in apt.conf since the packages from development aren't going
to be signed in future either, probably.
And yes you can install the stuff with just rpm -Uvh as well.
