I think that the first release of Magia have that be like Madriva. Modifications can be implemented in future releases.
Why not create a new format with the best of both worlds (if possible)?
.mageia ?

I don't believe that changing to a deb-based system would provide any significant benefit to justify the expense in terms of re-training devs and creating a new build system.
