Apt is written in c++, so I guess integrating it directly is out of he
question. the command line tools can still be used "behind-the-scenes"
though.
Another thing that is needed: GNUstep configuration of debian
packages. Right now debian packages can be configured text-based
(using Dialog) as well as using GNOME. Allowing GNUstep configurations
would be needed eventually.
