There is no package manager around that is "God's Gift to SysAdmins". In
fact, I personally find package managers to be a curse :)
However, I think that apt and dpkg are a whole lot better than rpm for
installing packages on a single systems and for dealing with dependancies.

So does Debian. That wasn't his point, rather, that you can follow the
sequence or deviate it from it, and get back to where you need to be to
continue. This is something that RH doesn't allow from what I remember.
