Don't recall that it was being touted as a new package manager JUST for Debian, however. No it is not a package manager to "unify" rpms and debs. It is an 'apt-get' LIKE tool for some Rat Hat PAY service. A previous poster was VERY correct: rpms are very brain dead! Only use them in an emergancy. It is much better to download a tarball and make it into a deb or install it into '/usr/local' then to try and muck around with rpms on a non-rpm system.
