I don't see what how packaging metadata can be attributed to what you 
are talking about. You are comparing apples and oranges. You can either 
compare packaging systems like RPM and DEB or distributions like Fedora 
and Debian or organizations like Red Hat (organization behind Fedora and 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SPI (organization behind Debian), Canonical 
(organization behind Ubuntu).

Note that Fedora is also a free and open source distribution with a very 
similar philosophy to Debian (atleast as far as licensing is concerned)
