Subject: rpm -i should not need --force-debian for source packages
Package: rpm
Version: 4.7.2-1+b1
Severity: normal
When I try to unpack a source package, this happens:
wraith:/tmp$ rpm -i gnome-panel-2.24.1-2.27.1.src.rpm
rpm: please use alien to install rpm packages on Debian, if you are really sure use --force-debian switch. See README.Debian for more details.
This seems wrong to me. Obviously I shouldn't try to install binary
packages like this, but for a source package, rpm -i is roughly equivalent
to dpkg-source -x, both perfectly reasonable things to do on a non-native
system. README.Debian doesn't contain any suggestion of why unpacking
source packages should be a problem, and even comments on where they'll be
unpacked to.
I think the "rpm" command should only refuse to install a package if it
isn't a source package.

Closes: 565421
Changes:
rpm (4.8.0-3) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Do not require --force-debian for installing packages, just complain that
user should use alien. This allows easily people to shoot in the foot,
however --force-debian switch seems to be too unpopular (Closes: #565421).
* Bump standards to 3.8.4.
