   I need to build a yum repository on a debian server.
   Would you know where could I find a yum debian package? 
  You may wish to use the tool alien 
 I think he's actually needing to mirror a yum repo 

Not mirror. Creating a personnal one, for internal (LAN) tests and use.
If I wanted to mirror one, I would just use rsync or another tool.

Yum embeds a tool to generate the metadata files (the equivalent of
dpkg-scanpackages to generate Packages.gz). That one is the one I want.

It's a sensitive server, without any developping tool, so there is no
way to ./configure; make; make install on it.

Well, no problem, I am going to create a package for it.
It will take a while, but, I will learn :-)

Cool - there is no yum package as you have noticed, and nobody has gone
through the formal procedure to request it's packaging for debian,
either, by filing a 'RFP' against the 'wnpp' package.

If you intend to package it for debian yourself, great! Please file a
wishlist ITP bug against wnpp. The `reportbug' tool will guide you
through the process of formatting the ITP. This will prevent duplication
of effort, should someone else come along and intend to do the same
thing.

You will find the maintainer's guide (package maint-guide) and the
debian-mentors mailing list useful.

Yours,

You may wish to use the tool alien (available in Debian) to convert a yum 
.rpm to a .deb.  You'll need to make sure dependencies are satisfied.

I think he's actually needing to mirror a yum repo (not install an rpm)... i
could be wrong however.  Unfortunately i have no experience w/ yum so maybe
someone else knows?
