According to the FAQ, MeeGo will be based on RPM packages and not Debian. WTF? Why would they make that choice? The ONE thing Debian got going for itself is the package handling system which is superior to anything else I have ever seen. Why would they choose to give that up? That simply does not make sense.

I'm curious about this as well. It was the biggest/only disappointment I had regarding the MeeGo announcement.

BTW, give me please the command line - how to download a SINGLE package from repository and doesn't pull all depending packages? I hesitate to experiment with it because ... see the previous paragraph.
