IMHO that isn't enough of a warrant for it to be in [community]. If we want to take into consideration such a reasoning, then akin to what danimoth mentioned, we should see a few other tools in the repo too. Furthermore, 27 and 33 only barely pass as "popular".
Well in any case, if a TU wants, he gets.

I was wondering what peoples opinions are about putting rpm/dpkg in [community]. They both have a descent number of votes (27 & 33) so people obviously find them useful. Does anyone have objections about their "unArchness" (it is a real word, honest!)? It is what has stopped me moving dpkg so far...
