This is nuts.

1) That howto is not even linked to from the home page.
2) The whole point of using a package manager like smart, apt, yum or
urpmi is to not have to not have to worry about dependencies.
3) That section doesn't even say that you need the rpm python module on
Debian. Take a look!

I was thinking of using smart, as an ISV, to deal with the fact that
different RPM distros have different front-ends (yum, yast, urpmi). I
was thinking of just using smart for everyone. But if installing smart
is more trouble than installing my application from sources... :P

I guess I have to look elsewhere.
