We can do it the Debian way. ( french Debian way, don't know about the others 
countrys )
Just write articles in magazine and say " for the user of Mandrake, a simple 
urpmi software_used_in_the_article would do the trick. The others, you can 
recompile from tar.gz. "

Very effective, everybody who read Linux Magazine France know that apt-get is 
so cool ....

Another thing to do is that we should stop to say that rpm can be find on 
rpmfind.net. Almost each time people go on rpmfind, they download a rpm for 
another distro, and, when it don't work, they say that rpm is bad.

What about a Mandrake-advocacy-howto ?
