Hello,
Thanks for your (great) work.
I just would report the following problems using apt when trying to get 
some packages :
few packages are found in the database but can't be download (no 
available version is found) ...
I think they are just not yet repackaged for fc4 but just in case, a 
report follow.

***Here my version of apt.
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi apt

***I do a fresh update (get some problems with newrpms but I don't think 
that's the point) :

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.

***Next I do an upgrade :
[root@localhost ~]# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded.

***Here are the problems :

[root@localhost ~]# apt-get install xmms
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package xmms has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package xmms has no installation candidate

***I have the same answer for bmp.

***Here are some others errors with xmame and amule :
[root@localhost ~]# apt-get install xmame
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed.
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   xmame: Depends: libglide3.so.3 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

[root@localhost ~]# apt-get install amule
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   amule: Depends: libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0 but it is not installable
          Depends: libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0(WXGTK2_2.4) but it is not installable
