Of course, but assuming epoch=0 when epoch is missing from version does
not work. For example gimp requires libgimp1.2 = 1.2.3-21mdk, but
libgimp1.2 has version 1:1.2.3-21mdk. You can see all of these as warnings
in the output of    rpm -Vav --nofiles

I believe rpmdsCompare doesn't work very well and apt didn't work around
it. That should be fixed now.

The sources.list is a bit different than regular apt-rpm, the supplied
default sources.list reflects that.
