"There are a lot of developing nations in the world where people accept payment in US$ but they are not going to suddently change their entire currency to US$."
Exactly. Red Hat will never use debs and Debian will never use rpms just because apt-get can manipulate either. A route to unification would be the adoption of one package format (RPM) and an army of developers to prepare them (Debian->Fedora) for a user community to easily add them to their systems (apt-get).
