</I> I can understand a personal preference, but why do you believe that
deb is superior to rpm? Given that Mandriva is already rpm-based, what
benefit could be derived from abandoning the existing build system and
urpmi?

&gt;<i>From everything I have read, neither system has a clear advantage over

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.
