I am not talking about apps, I am talking about things like:

- ability to install completely on LVM (including /boot)
- tracking of packages that were manually installed vs packages that
  were only installed to satisfy dependences
- 3-way merge of changed configuration files on package upgrade
- ability to do release upgrades live on a running system
- excellent automated grub2 setup (os-prober)

Nothing of this is really essential, but these are nice Debian features
that Fedora apparenttly doesn't have. Now I would like to know about
stuff comparable to this that Fedora has, but Debian hasn't (I'm sure
there are many).



Best,
