Dependencies are dependencies - they exist, whatever the distribution. The thing that never ceases to infuriate me is people who insist on blaming rpm for not solving dependencies for them - that's not it's job, just like it's not dpkg's job in a Debian-based distro. If you want to compare Debian's apt with something in a RH-based distro, the most apposite comparison would be apt. apt has a very similar interface to apt, being the same program, so apt users will quickly become accustomed to apt. You could also compare it to yum, which does a similar job in a slightly different way. But whinging about rpm is just silly - that would be like me complaining about dpkg hell on Debian, when yum is so much superior...
