Good point, I sugest something like this:
#debian: dpkg -i sysvinit*.rpm [enter]
***WARNING***
Installing rpm packages, can cause your system to be unuseable, even
unbootable please proceed with caution, and Always check to see if there
is a debian package .deb of the software in question. If your not sure
weather or not there is a debian package please ask on irc.debian.org
#debian or on the debian-user mailing list.
Press enter (posibly dangerous) to continue
^C to cancel.
