David and Julian have already given you all relevant pointers, but I'll
be happy to provide more guidance about specific issues with CUDF / EDSP
if needed.
It seems to me that if you want to play with the idea of plugging
libsolv into APT, the most natural next step for you is to write some
glue code that accepts EDSP data coming from APT, pipes it to libsolv
for doing the actual solving, and talks back EDSP to APT to inform the
package manager of the found solution. You can have a look at the
Debian package "apt-cudf" for how to do the integration and at all
packages who "Provides: cudf-solver" for examples.
HTH,
Cheers.
