So up2date is a front end to apt?

You have a weird definition of "front-end". You would say Mozilla is a
httpd "front-end"? Or Samba is a Win2000 "front-end"?
Up2date can use apt or yum repositories, but uses neither the apt or yum
program.
Ok, my opinions seem to have been pretty skewed lately, sorry for the
