I'm curious, does the RPM-ized apt-get generate RPMs or just build/install
without updating the RPM database? While having apt-get is nice, I'm not
sure I'd like an inconsistent view of installed packages in the RPM
database.

I guess that's the catch with RPMs, it's great if you use it all the way,
but painful for customization.
