nice formatting, looks like you wrote a poem.
here is 27 pages you can read about your rpm vs deb question...

So they want all the APIs to be the same.
Intel had already got Moblin, which use RPM package system.
So, Tablet/Netbook/Cars will use RPM package system.
They cannot accept that only on Handset, use the DEB system.
So MeeGo Handset also use DEB system.
But on the NOKIA side, Maemo 5 use DEB system,
It is not a easy work to transfer from DEB to RPM for a whole system.
So, Maemo 6, which NOKIA is now working on, uses DEB, NOT RPM.
Maybe in MeeGo 2 or Maemo 7, it will be RPM.
Is that right ?
My question is why not NOKIA use RPM directly ?
When a developer want to develop an App for MeeGo,
He/She had to prepare a deb version and a rpm version.
There is no good for developers.
