A question on this.  I've seen apt-rpm which puts the apt front end on an 
RPM back end.  Since RPMs are much more common (AFAIK) this seems like 
(almost) the best of both worlds.  Anyone had any experience with using 
apt-rpm care to comment on it?  Any good howto's available online for using 
it?

>4. Setup and configuration is not the easiest to do...

That will probably leave it out of my own list of choices.
