I have to ask, why stick with RPMS?

I mean, if you are going to migrate, why not just drop RPM based
distros?

Fedora might be the answer but I suspect this is a good reason to drop
RedHat for Debian.

This isn't going to happen to Debian because they aren't a distro with
the same approach to the world.

That's not hard to emulate.

Debian has the /etc/init.d/ssh start also if you are up for a bit of a
change.

I believe someone wrote a program to emulate (perhaps a port of that
one) that.
