Now I personally don't think SmartPM is a great idea.  It will have 
problems in time.  Each distribution places files in a different 
location, it will have to find out what you are using and realign where 
files are going.  If anything they would make it for Debian, which if 
you ever tried adding a debian repository to ubuntu is bad news, and not 
for us.

I would use it if I had a need, I have everything I want through apt and 
RPM's through alien.

Cheers.
