CVS the relevent gnome packages to your system. Add a /debian tree to
each package. Write a script that does a cvs update of each dir, a
debian/rules build in each dir, and puts the packages up for ftp. Put
the script in a cron job and you have it.
There doesn't need to be support in their build scripts for DEBs,
AFAIK the rpms are built by a third party, I don't even see any .spec
files in the CVS tree.
Either way, the people who build the RPMs can't build DEB files. Last
I checked, Debian and Red Hat were not compatible. (e.g. libpng and
libjpeg have different sonames.)
