Well that's not really accurate. The problem with rpm's is that the vast
majority are not packaged by redhat, they're rolled by helpful people etc.
Debian on the other hand has a veritable army of people who have packaged
just about everything on the planetaccording to their guidlines. To
clarify that, the people who make .debs tend to work for debian (ok maybe
not "work" in the traditional sense but you get the point), whereas the
people who make .rpms don't work for anyone.
