Don't get into the rpm hell. They don't work like apt packages, so wouldn't get updated. It offers no benefits over self-compiling the source.

Simply get the source, compile it on your debian system, and enjoy the results. Simple!

If you were then really magnanimous, you'd package the results as a deb, and offer to maintain it. That's how deb repos work!
