I think a lot of people might have missed a relatively simple way we can take advantage of the momentum of the RPM packaging system. Why don't we modify dpkg-source to accept .src.rpm's as pristine source packages? Then we could have an additional alien/debmake-like utility to convert the RPM spec file rules into a set of rules that could be added to our debian/rules Makefiles. Pretty simple, huh? It would save tonnes of needless duplication. Cheers, - Jim
