no..apt and yum do not provide the same functionality as urpm*...mostly but not quite..
if you want to search for a given header ( say you are missing one in a given compilation of a package your installing ) you just:
urpmf blah.h
and it tells you what package to install to satisfy the dependency...apt nor yum can lay claim to that slick feature...so urpmi is ahead on that count anyway
you can search the debian mirror for said header file but there is no command line tool for doing the same which can come in handy...
