You can interchange and convert packages with alien. You can (probably)
even run two different packaging systems on the same box. This is a bad
idea -- the idea is that a packaging system runs herd over the box.
Having two systems duking it out with each other is a pretty sure way to
get things fuxnored beyond belief.
No person can serve two masters. No box can serve two packaging
systems.
Pick one and stick with it.
Cheers.
