I can't comment on this. All I can say is that I moved from RH to
Debian because I could not /stand/ working with the RPM any longer. I
happened to need a smallish distro for an old laptop and settled on
Deb 1.3.1 which was an absolute dream to install, mainly thanks to
dselect (which, yes, has its faults). When I then had all the
problems I did with RPM, and nobody seemed to know why or how to fix
them, it was not a difficult decision to make to change distro.
