I question this. Only the technical possibility to install packages from
another distribution is not enough to make everyone happy. It is indeed
already possible. It has to be accompanied by a policy. As Debian prefers
technical correctness, but has little voice in this bad world, it would
still be a conflict. And people would *think* they can swap packages, which
is quite confusing.
At the current state, I can see no benefit in a unified package format for
Debian. I could see why RH user want to use Debian packages instead of the
packages in their contrib section, though :)

I agree. Kysh, please calm down.
