I've been running yum on WBEL for a fair while now, and I've basically given
up on it -- It's slow, it doesn't permit me to terminate operations reliably
on SIGINT, etc...  Essentially, for all that I'm sure it has its advantages,
I don't like it much.

I'd like to move my package management over to apt
for WBEL (which otherwise I love).  Is this possible?  Are there apt repositories
that are roughly equivalent to the Yum one?  Can the Yum DB even be migrated
so that I'm not stuch with a useless collection of unknown rpms?
