I don't think so. The first paragraph just mentions that Debian is
innovative and developed some cool tool. The other paragraph briefly
describes (in a slightly different context) what is it good for.
(BTW, these days every other major distribution offers ported apt-get
or have some similar tool like urpmi. Do you think we should weaken
the wording "most distinguishes" a bit?)
