	dpkg is no different than rpm.  They are package formats only.  The apt
tools are an independent utility that also was ported to rpm.  The rpm
based distros now have yum, which is the equivalent of qpt, so there's
no advantage for Debian there.

	But remember everyone, I am not knocking Debian.  I am talking about
things that are specific only to me and even they aren't related to
technical aspects of Debain and derivative distros.
