Honest question: How can one defend the claim that dpkg suffers from "meta-package-system-of-the-week" (apt has been around for something like a decade) without saying the same about FreeBSD (cvsup, csup, freebsd-update, etc -- and ports has even more to worry about)?
The core functionality that dpkg is missing and apt is supposed to provide - dependency support - was part of the ports system from the beginning. And apparently automatic dependency support isn't even something you want, which I find surprising.
