There are a couple of issues with it:
1) lorg3 (somewhere in the pre/rc versions) broke synaptic due to
accidentally making a destructor private, you'll need this patch against
lorg3 to have it buildable at all:
svn diff -r131:132 http://svn.laiskiainen.org/apt-rpm/trunk/

2) The previous patch wasn't exactly complete, or at least things have
changed enough since then to make it pretty broken currently. Here are
updated patches, the other to fix some issues with gcc 4.1 (it's nowhere
near a complete cleanup though) and another to add partial repomd
support:
http://apt-rpm.laiskiainen.org/patches/synaptic-0.57.2-gcc41.patch
http://apt-rpm.laiskiainen.org/patches/synaptic-0.57.2-repomd-0.patch

The repomd patch doesn't quite still work, repository editing in
synaptic is broken and progress meters for downloading the actual
repository metadata (primary.xml and filelists.xml) is broken :-/
I'll try to get those fixed soonish but synaptic knows way too much
about apt's internals for it's own good, it might not be entirely
trivial to get it fully working.
