Good question. I tend to the second variant. Guessing how the user can
get root permissions is bound to fail. You can't know how/if sudo is
configured and ssh root@localhost may work or not either.

I think this option is generally a good idea, as pacman (the package
manager, not the game ;-) is not packaged for Debian.
The question if also 20-rpm should not be shipped in the Debian binary
package is a slightly different case as rpm is packaged for Debian --
probably mostly because it's a dependency of alien.
But I suspect that running rpm on a Debian system (if available)
doesn't help at all for finding to which package a binary belongs, so
it probably saves even more CPU cycles if 20-rpm is dropped from the
binary package, too. Then again, I don't know how exactly alien works,
so I'm not too sure about this. :-)
Regards, Axel
