I concur. The user experience depends entirely on the repository. apt
is lovely on Debian and Ubuntu because Debian take incredible care
with the quality of their repository. yum on Fedora isn't bad at all.
apt on Fink is mediocre because their repository is crappy.

The myth arose because yum was a long time coming, and Debian happens
to have a high quality repository that just happens to use deb instead
of rpm.

Now, back to Wine ... :-)
