IIRC it does, but it perhaps doesn't use the same configurations, e.g.
to hold packages. I don't remember and might confuse it with another
tool. Mixing tools could be tricky.
That different tools for the package management aren't in sync not only
is a drawback, it also could be an advantage in some situations.
Perhaps you're using one browser that allows cookies and another that
doesn't. Should this be synced for all browsers, so hat all allow or
don't allow cookies? For some users this might be perfect, but others
might want a browser, that does allow it and another that doesn't.
