Why RPM is better than DEB for MeeGo?

I know there has been a lot fuzz about this subject on various forums and newsgroups concerning the merge of Moblin and Maemo. I'd like to know what stackoverflow-fellows think about this. What are the benefits of RPM packaging over DEB that make it better choice for MeeGo?

RPM is specified as the packaging format for the Linux Standard Base.
