This renders "apt-get source" and "apt-get
build-dep" non-applicable
to fedora.us hosted apt-repositories and therefore voids at least
these aspects where apt is superior to yum.
Although I love apt for its powerful configuration, I have to admit that
'apt-get build-dep' is not very usefully in the rpm-world:
* it detects only the requirements which were used to build the src.rpm,
but not the deps which will be required
* extending functionality is a non-trivial task, as the dep-resolving
should happen as non-root while the final package removal/installation
must happen as root
