I don't think it will ever be - its geared towards source packages (I 
understand there is some support for binary only packages, but have never 
tried using them). as such it will always fall behind packaging systems 
designed to handle binary only packages, which is what you'd use for server 
installation, especially large scale installs.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to compile sources for each of my 
servers. even if we ignore the slowness of the process (several orders of 
magnitude slower then binary only install), compiling all packages from 
sources intoroduces a large amount of discrepancy between boxes that should 
be as identical as possible. this is not good for large or even medium scale 
installations.
