Smart type "rpm-md" can be converted to "repomd" for apt-rpm "lorg"
releases. The entries in sources.list look like any "rpm" type
repository but without the components part, since those dont make sense
(dont exist) in repomd. Repomd entries look somewhat like this:

repomd http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/ fedora/linux/core/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/os/

In hardcoded version that'd be something like
fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/

Actually I guess I should have a look at the importer/syncer myself,
still haven't sent a single patch to smartpm, shame on me :)
