What makes you think so?

$ rpm -q apt ; rpm -ql apt | grep libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0
apt-0.5.15cnc6-53.4.rhfc3.at
/usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0
/usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0.1.1

The same is probably true of all other repos as well.

IMO there is some other explicit dependency between fedora.us's
synaptic and apt.
