Well, apt-rpm is virtually dead and I guess it will vanish into thin air
sooner or later. The main advantage apt had for quite some time was the
fact that there the apt4rpm repositories offered a rich choice of
software... this will hopefully change, as we move to XML package metadata
based repositories [1] (aka. yum repos), that are accessible from e.g.
YaST, YUM and smartpm.

Go ahead and add some info on apt, if you like. But I'd rather like to see
people moving from apt to YaST (if they need a cmdline interface: y2pmsh)
and YUM.
