Well, of course, you can have RPM and the debian apt system in parallel and install packages from both on the same system. But if you're asking "Does apt-get understand/install RPM packages and databases?" -- I'm pretty sure the answer is no. I suppose you could "alien" the RPMs to .deb format. And Debian does have a RPM .deb package. apt-get is a thing of beauty over a good DSL line. I dont have such a line, but I've seen it in action and it's pretty sweet.
