Just FWIW, the fact that apt-rpm is still in Fedora is against the
direct recommendation of the last upstream maintainer (as in, me).
It's been dead for ten years and is totally useless in todays Fedora
with rich dependencies and all. Short of somebody stepping up to revive
the upstream project, the only responsible action would be retiring it.
Oh, if upstream says so, I will look up the procedure to ask for a
package to be retired. That's a first for me...
