You seem to be ignoring the history of this though... deb-based systems are typically more universally compliant than all the various rpm-based ones.

Yes, rpm is just a packaging system, and yes - you really get this movng from rpm distro to rpm distro that seem to not relate to eachother at all except they use rpms. Deb based systems are more similar to each other not just in the package management but also in actual system stucture.

To pretend MeeGo is going to look exactly like Maemo except we'll issue rpm -Uvh instead of dpkg -i seems quite silly to me.
