You got me there. So it means nobody packages it for Debian? Well, so the
solution is to make the whole Debian distribution compatible with RH just for
the sake of one package? Isn't it better to repackage it for Debian? No that
I'm willing to do it :)) but someone who uses it, could, am I right?

Hmm... It's not very hard to take a source RPM, which MUST have a tarball
inside, take the tarball out and package it for Debian... And if what you're
saying is that those packages are commercial apps, then they're not in the
Debian spirit anyway
