Minor point - if you're doing it with apt, you're probably not doing it manually :P - using rpm directly would be something I'd consider as "manual".
That is exactly what I was referring to ... in majority of situations, I end up with having to use rpm manually. Only after I've made sure dependancies are good enough, can I use apt ... and then, it's only to install one package, or most two. If I want to select packages, I want to use some GUI tool, like YaST, where synaptic would be the tool to use with apt. Alas, now that I got a x86_64 system, I no longer have synaptic :-) ...
I'm pretty sure I had 64bit synaptic compiled and running... I think I've simply rebuilt the source rpm.
