Usually, you use:
# apt-get install foobar
But if you download somefile.deb manually and want to install it
manually instead of using apt, you use:
# dpkg -i somefile.deb
> rpm -Uvh --nodeps <file.rpm> to ??? deb
You don't want to do that.
# apt-get install foobar
instead and apt takes care of the dependency issues cleanly.

# dpkg --remove foo
or to remove configuration files as well:
# dpkg --purge foo

You're welcome. Good luck migrating, it won't always be easy but I'm
hoping that when you get the hang of Debian you won't ever want to use
anything else. ;)
