Sorry I missed the original mail completely - sure, prebuilt apt
packages for Fedora exist everywhere else but in Fedora Core itself :-/
The semi-official Fedora Extras at www.fedora.us has apt binaries but
the current stable version is a bit old, the latest version is
just-about-to-be published and is here:
http://download.fedora.us/pending/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/

Then there are about a dozen different repositories like freshrpms.net,
ATrpms, Dag Wieers repository etc etc which also have apt packages for
Fedora.
