Well, the tool on Red Hat systems is not called 'rpm' any more.
Later it was called 'yum'. And now 'dnf'. And on Debian, 'dkpg'
is used together with 'apt'.
And if you mean the user-visible suffix of package files, then
you would need to write @code{.rpm}, @code{.deb}, and so on.
So, I think this way we don't achieve a doc improvement.
