I use apt in a RHEL clone for embedded systems (openvpn, firewall and 
tons of stuffs like snort etc..):
it runs on a Via C3 533Mhz, 512Mo ram (256 for the system memory, and 
256 for /var and /tmp in read/write mode);
the rest of the system is on a CF 512mo in read only (ext3 with some tweaks)

apt is faster than light , and it don't need python; so the memory it 
use is not a big issue.

it is faster that the same version in Proliant Servers ! (maybe because 
/var is in ram?)

A good choice for a "big" embedded system.
