Will Listaller replace DEB/RPM?
Listaller is no replacement for the package management system of your current distribution. It only extends the package manager and gives an easy way to install applications or new versions of apps that are not in the distribution's package repository.
Has Listaller something to do with Opkg?
No. The Ipkg/Opkg project only uses the same file extension as Listaller for their installation files (IPK). Opkg-IPK files are based on the Debian-package structure, Listaller-IPK packages are based on XML files and Tar/XZ archives. If using the same file extension for both systems is too much confusing, it is possible to change it. (But at time, this wouldn't be useful.) [For information: Ipkg was a lightweight package management system. The system is currently not maintained, a new version, released under the name "Opkg" is used for OpenMoko phones]
