I don't think there's an insuperable difference between rpm & deb, when it comes to inherent ability to state what their dependencies are. The point of most of my arguments, has simply been that in the past, rpms have not been constructed as carefully as debs. For this reason, apt on debian has been superior to apt4rpm. this is not an inherent condition; and it may very well change. I don't have a great deal of faith in the Fedora people to do it quickly; but it probably won't be in an insufferable state.
