No need.  Mandrake has urpmi which does the same thing.  And,
Conectiva Linux has written a back-end for apt-get that handles

and, although Redhat ones aren't some people have put up ones
that are.

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
