All your complains are right but they have _nothing_ to do witch apt-get!
Nor have they (with exception of point 1) something to do with rpm.
Please stand by the facts, point one is partly a problem of rpm
and partly RH. Afaik Conectiva has no file depends.
Point 2 and 3 are a cordination and standarisation issue and _not_
a problem of rpm or apt.
