apt-rpm is very slow (not so slow as yum, but much slower than swup and
native apt-dpkg). Mostly is due how it's cache working - just a heap of
rpm headers nor db structure nor search optimization. If someone replace
this crap to some db-aware cache and cleanup the code it will be great
solution. But only for one-arch system because biarch is broken too ;)
