This is a debate that seems to be as "religious" as is which distro to
use! It always seems to start a healthy flame on any Linux mailing
list. Although im fully aware that RULEs ambition is to be fully distro
"agnostic" would it not be better to leave apt-get on the "to do"
list and not muddy the waters?
