Well, then I may have misunderstood your question (I thought you
emphasized "on debian", since I had already mentioned the similarity
to apt-get, but maybe you had missed it).

And no, they decided to roll their own, with their own package
description format (manifest, aka catalogue files), etc. The
command line and functions are intended to be similar to apt-get,
but that's it...
