Method #1 : Convert the .deb to .rpm using "alien" and install
with rpm.
Method #2 : Convert the .deb to .tar.gz. The steps are:
ar -x $PACKAGE.deb
rm -f control.tar.gz
rm -f debian-binary
mv data.tar.gz $PACKAGE.tar.gz
Either install the binary tarball after moving it
to "/" dir (tar -xzvf $PACKAGE.tar.gz) or convert
it to rpm (don't know how that is done though !)
