Been using it for a couple of weeks now. So far it works pretty well. But,
it doesn't work after the fact (the I can find). It functions on the make
install part of the process for tarballs.
Not sure on debs because never tried it out. But, it seems to do well
enough on rpms to be able to uninstall, install and upgrade. Doubt it does
anything about handling dependencies.
