Keeping dependencies when running alien

["Joshua J. Kugler" <joshua@eeinternet.com>]

I'm trying to use alien to convert a vendor's RPM to .deb.  Mainly so I can 
install it cleanly, but also to help them out.  The REQUIRENAME from the RPM 
has this (xxxxxxxxx is the app...X'ed out due to the fact that this is a beta 
test, and I'm not sure how much news they want in public):

/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
config(xxxxxxxxx) = 3.3-15
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3)
libdl.so.2
libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)
libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1)
libgcc_s.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)
libgcc_s.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)
libm.so.6
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libpthread.so.0
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.1)
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.1.1)
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)
libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3)
libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3.1)
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.5)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

PROVIDES has this:
config(xxxxxxxxx)
xxxxxxxxxx.so
xxxxxxxxx

But, when I convert it to a .deb via alien, the control file looks like this:

Package: xxxxxxxxx
Version: 3.3-16
Section: alien
Priority: extra
Architecture: i386
Installed-Size: 9732
Maintainer: Joshua Kugler <jkugler@host>
Description: xxxxxxxxx for Linux 3.3
 .
 xxxxxxxxx Linux contains the xxxxxxxxx server daemon for Linux as well as the
 xxxx and xxxx data export daemons.  This RPM will install init scripts to 
start
 each of these daemons individually.
 .
 (Converted from a rpm package by alien version 8.52.)

There is no Depends: line.

So, how do I instruct alien to convert these dependencies over?

Thanks!
