Another problem we identified is apt not liking packages requiring
dependencies they provide - which IMHO is stupid anyway

This is for example the case of openldap-servers-2.2.13-4.i386.rpm
which requires /usr/share/openldap/migration/migrate_common.ph , which is
however in the RPM itself. rpm will happily install it, but apt will
complain.
