Hello, I think it is two different problems: apt4rpm is done to handle RPM with APT on RPM based distros and in another hand the goal of OSCARonDebian is to run OSCAR on Debian (ie using Deb packages and Deb tools). The current version of OSCARonDebian is allready based on apt (through DepMan/PackMan). But I agree with you, the idea to be able to use a command like "apt-get install oscar" sounds interesting. For information, OSCAR currently use UpdateRPM which has the same kind of goals than apt4rpm.
