Well, it would have, but I found out two things in the mean time:

1. Rpm *is* supported on Ubuntu, but it is deprecated in favor of:

2. Conversion via alien.

So, I installed alien, converted all the rpms to .debs, modified my
installer shell (that installed all the rpms in a working order) to do
the .debs instead, and it seems to work fine except, as I've
complained about before:

The desktop integration doesn't work.

Actually, there is no desktop-integration package for Debian systems,
so I just go through Nautilus manually and tweak the settings from OOo
to LO and all is well in the world.

Thanks.
