No, this is not true. Debian packages can require "bash | tcsh | zsh", which

As I understand it RPM packages both provide and require things
(ignoring other types of dependency), and provides are used to resolve
requires. However, as I understand it debian packages only have
requirements which must be packages. If more than one package can
provide something they have to require a metapackage, which is still a
valid package. So listing the packages a package requires makes more
sense on debian systems.
No, this is not true. Debian packages can require "bash | tcsh | zsh", which
rpms can't.
