Somebody would need to add support for the new repodata format and multilib to apt first. I've some work done on both but far from working and/or acceptable in reality. Add to that the fact that Conectiva is working on yet-another-depsolver with intent to replace apt (http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/pipermail/apt-rpm/2004- October/002580.html) ... time is probably better spent adding the missing pieces to yum instead. - Panu -
