No, I don't run Debian - but that is cool.
debian packages though don't work well with rpm based distributions.
Please don't duplicate effort.
meaning: please everyone switch to using debian?
or what?
I am not sure what Martin means, but my take on this
is that Norbert Preining has put a LOT of effort into a script
which builds Debian packages from the TeX Live
master tree. It would be well worth trying to write a different
output module on that to generate an RPM instead of a DEB.
Maybe it wouldn't work, but it would be good to try.
