Will it be the start of a road for .rpm and .deb interoperability, or will it lead us in the opposite direction, restricting the installation of software packages to the ones specifically designed for your RPM-based distribution? Should the LSB be concerned about these issues? What role will be played by auto-rpm, up2date, and other auto-updating tools? Or shall we leave things as they are, and declare that full apt-get functionality is an unneeded feature?
