in that case,i think it's because the easy upgrade path of apt,you run the
command apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to get an updated system,but i
think rpm is easier to work with in the development standpoint (craft a spec
file then rpm -BB if memory is right to build a new package from source and
some app have configure script which build the spec file beside the other
needed files).
