Add a /debian tree to each package. Write a script that does a cvs update of each dir, a debian/rules build in each dir, and puts the packages up for ftp. Put the script in a cron job and you have it. There doesn't need to be support in their build scripts for DEBs, AFAIK the rpms are built by a third party, I don't even see any .spec files in the CVS tree. Either way, the people who build the RPMs can't build DEB files. Last I checked, Debian and Red Hat were not compatible. (e.g. libpng and libjpeg have different sonames.)
