Hi, Here follows commentary on the major points of difference oj just the rpm and deb format (please read the URL for details regarding other package formats).
Another plus of an RPM is the '-V' option to verify the integrity of an installed RPM (i am not sure if that exists in deb)
Well the TFA says it does.. .deb does provide checksums for all the files in the package.
Also forgot to add, one major drawback of RPM is the db3/4 based backend in /var/lib/rpm which is highly fragile and needs some serious re-design..
