Its ok to have something that builds deb packages on Fedora, but in my opinion RPM is far

more advanced than apt on Ubuntu and other Debian Based system.
I have been using fedora for over 2 years now and I have never faced the package
installation issues that I faced with apt and dpkg, for whatever unknown reasons, may be
some corruption of package file, installation state Ubuntu's package manager gets
erroneous to an unrecoverable state, and I being a normal desktop user wasn't able to
restore the state, and had to reinstall the whole OS from scratch. dpkg/apt is good when
it works, but when it breaks its unrecoverable. RPM , dnf/yum are more reliable.
That poor joke of mine keeps hitting home :)
Fedora remains an RPM-based system using DNF. What this change was
about was really to allow using apt with deb packages. It makes it easier to
pull more tools from the dpkg ecosystem like mock equivalent sbuild.
Nothing to worry about.
