Demonstratably not true. Search the back list archives for people who
have stated they do not use apt. See Red Carpet, which presumably
someone actually uses. Etc.

I beg to differ. There is nothing difficult about dpkg. A half-solution
is worse than no solution at all. I also think that your supposed

system gives us; debian developers already have to learn to cope with
bug reports on text in languages they do not know (think po files).
