Where do you want LMDB? apt has a super fast binary cache, the repositories and dpkg store their package lists as text files.

RPM systems have the advantage IIRC that they can basically just download a bunch of sqlite3 databases, which means they do not have to parse any data.

AFAIK RPM uses BerkeleyDB, though it will probably switch to LMDB https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1086784
