New From what I can tell
The post you link to describes a process similar to that I used, without the insulation provided by building up the Debian installation seperately.

Again, the story is that a package management system manages packages. Having conflicting management systems on the same box, controlling the same files, is going to lead to conflicts. Keep things seperated out.

What exactly are you trying to do?

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?

I was just wondering if there was a way to automagically move things around, symlink, and/or read the RH rpm database to 'direct' apt-get, so that a system could be moved from RH to a Debian-like system that could use apt-get - keeping the same versions of the software installed, and still able to use software compiled/installed outside of either package management system. Once moved, I would anticipate dropping rpm and use apt, so keeping the two sync'ed wouldn't be an obstacle.

Just an idle thought...
