I suspect the most common case is "how can I get this on _this exact
system_", which isn't too hard; but the next most common case is "I
need to tell my friend how to get it on his/her system", which leaves
me sometimes wondering what the equivalent RPM for some DEB is, or
what sort of support there is for Program X on RHEL Y. So it would be
really nice if there were some straight-forward way to recognize these
equivalencies... but I doubt there is :(
