So what? If the rpm behaves like this, it is broken with regard to debian quality standards.I haven't used alien a single time. Debian has more packages than any other distribution. You will hardly find any standard package that isn't available as a debian package. As I said in another thread: I am often surprised to find out, that a programm is already packaged for debian. If there is some new programm, I install it in /usr/local using stow for maintainance. If it is a nice package, introduce it in -devel and ask whether someone can package it. If we like it, we will package it. And you can become a developer as well. There are cool helper apps available to make this easy. Believe me, I don't do any C/C++ and still maintain C/C++ programms.
