Panu's latest fedora.us apt package uses rpmlib unlike previous 
fedora.us apt releases.  This makes it a bit more acceptable for RH 
people who previously had the kneejerk "--nodeps" reaction. =)

I suspect that RH will accept apt and opencarpet only after the new 
unified meta-data thing happens hopefully before FC2.  BTW anyone know 
the status of that?

p.s.
Try the apt package at the URL above.  It also contains an awesome 
mirror-selector script so people no longer download everything from 
Hawaii because they are too lazy to choose actual mirrors.  It also has 
the functionality of adding additional 3rd party mirror lists and 
choosing from those mirrors too.
