Puting it into the apt dir will probably not work. For now, you have
to set this parameter either from the commmandline with:
 ' -o Synaptic::supported-label="Debian " '
or in the /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf file. I will think about a
better way to do this.

There is a thing called "label" in the Release file of a apt enabled
rpm directory. In debian it looks like this:

address@hidden:~$ cat 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp2.de.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_source_Release
Archive: unstable
Component: non-free
Origin: Debian
Label: Debian
Architecture: source

I think it can be bigger in theorie, but it will probably not look
very good then.

Confirmed on debian. Thanks for spotting this problem!

Is it possible that this is a theme issue? Does it help if you switch
to a different one?

Odd, this code has not changed. Basicly the code is:
_config->Set("RPM::GPG-Check",
             gtk_toggle_button_get_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(_checkSigsB)) ?
             "true" : "false");


thanks!
