→Introduction
In principle, the adoption of the Debian package management should allow to use prebuilt package archives available for [http://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.html Debian distributions]. However, close attention should be paid when mixing packages of different distributions. For instance, Debian packages installed on a Yocto file system could not work. Even worse, '''they could interfere with existing packages and make these unusable'''.
This Technical Note (TN) describes a way to apply the [<code>smart</code>-based approach illustrated [https://wiki.dave.eu/index.php/XELK-AN-003:_Package_Management_with_Yocto|<code>smart</code>-based approach]here] to a Yocto distribution that makes use of Debian packetization. In other words, a local archive of Yocto-generated prebuilt .deb packages is used in combination with the well known <code>apt-get</code> utility.
