FYI:
rhn-client-tools use rhpl
I already asked Lukas Durfina, whether he can create patch to remove
rhpl dependency, since it will take off the need to create and maintain
rhpl for Debian.

We're hoping to be able to not ship rhpl for Fedora 12 -- this isn't
something which is really a "feature", but it might be something that a
heads up is useful for. Anyone who has a package with a dependency on
rhpl should have a bug filed, 98% of them with patches, to switch to
using something else.
If you are using rhpl and *don't* have a Requires: rhpl in your spec
file (or are using it for something not in Fedora), here's the
replacements for the things which were commonly used
* rhpl.translate -> Use python's gettext module. It's a lot more
functional these days. rhpl.translate was a good idea 7 years ago,
but not anymore :)
* rhpl.ethtool -> python-ethtool provides a module with similar/the same
API
* rhpl.exception -> Chris Lumens has split out a new package python-meh
which includes the exception handling capabilities from rhpl with the
added support for filing to bugzilla like anaconda does
* rhpl.keyboard* -> these now live in system-config-keyboard
