As I stated above:
> I do know what to do with rpms in Debian-based distros (there is a
converter named Alien) but again is not that simple: the tool is splitted in
several rpms, scripts, libraries, config files, etc. that makes difficult to
perform a consistent conversion, at least for me (not an expert but also not a
noob). Maybe the developers couldn't, or didn't want, to generate a
single rpm. Again: productivity, productivity, productivity...
