I see I'm a bit late to this debate but I'm going to throw my two cents on 
the fire.  The LAST thing Mandrake needs to do is become another Debian based 
distribution.  urpmi and rpmdrake already work great.  They aren't perfect 
but neither is apt-get.  I'm sure if they(the Mandrake developers) tried to 
graft apt-get on top of an rpm-based distro there would be some major 
problems simply because of the difference in databases.  Other than apt-get 
are there other compelling reasons for Mandrake to become a Debian based 
distro?  I don't think so.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it and Mandrake as 
it stands right now is far from broken.  Sure it has a few glitches here and 
there but overall it's about as solid as solid gets.  Let's just leave well 
enough alone and let Debian be the slow moving distro that is creating a new 
BSD-based distro.
