I'd rather hold this until the next "new feature" release rather than
apply right now [1]. Another thing is that people are still rather
slowly finding their way on to this new list so it might be not such a
bad idea to give people more time to comment in case some of those folks
using apt-rpm on HP-UX etc (gasp :) would protest. 

[1] I've been thinking about revising the apt-rpm development model,
until now it's been totally random "bump up the number after cnc/lorg"
with no stable vs development branches at all, making large code changes
nasty to do etc. One possibility could be branching for a stable release
right now or after lorg4 and maintain the support for old rpm versions
etc there and then seriously rip loose on svn trunk. Thoughts?
