I'm curious at how you find rpms more painful to build than debs ? I don't have much experience with them but I was under the impression than just writing a specfile and calling rpmbuild was a step up compared to debian, which seems a mess to me with the makefiles and other stuff all over the place and all those dpkg commands which are wrappers for each other.

- Packages with mutually exclusive dependencies are troublesome in the RPM world - yum/dnf take extraordinary amounts of time compared to apt - debs are all in one source. Upstream sources are clean, predictable, and easy to troubleshoot.
