I think it might be better to remove apt-rpm completely. APT-RPM gained
support for the repomd format, and thus there should be no need at all to
maintain those old-style apt-rpm specific repositories.

It also duplicates a lot of code from apt, and is based on a really old
apt version, thus probably inheriting a lot of security issues.
