The apt sources on freshrpms seem to work very well. The only thing that they have not gotten working is the a kernel update using apt. I up-verted (that is what happens when you use apt to upgrade a Redhat system) a Redhat v7.3 install to v8.0 with only one or two packages refusing to update.

You also need a distribution whose maintainers are working hard at maintaining forward and backward migration paths and keeping all the necessary dependency information correct. Yeah, sure, if your fingers are committed to typing, "apg-get install foo" instead of "wget http://url/to/foo-1.2.3.rpm && rpm -i foo-1.2.3.rpm", that'll help a little, but it still doesn't save you from Dependency Hell, does it?
