You aren't comparing like for like.  RPM is equivalent to Debian's dpkg
(better in some areas, worse in others).  Apt is a high-end package
management system.  You can usefully compare Apt, Urpmi and Yum but not
Apt and RPM.

BTW, Debian doesn't support RPM as a package manager.  You can install
RPM to let you build RPM packages for other systems but trying to use
RPM to install and manage packages on a Debian system will eventually
break it.
