Thanks for the interesting information.  I've never used any apt-rpm based
distribution[1], so my impression of apt is mostly from the native apt-deb,
which doesn't seem to have that problem.  (I know Debian pre-resolves
dependencies to the package level during package build time, which makes the
job a bit easier than what apt-rpm and swup have to do).

[1] We made the first release of swup for TSL a bit before apt-rpm was
released, and I never really used any other rpm based distribution after
that :)
