It is generally a bad idea to blindly convert rpms to debs via tools
like Alien. I've seen several, several people that have seriously
screwed up their systems, from apt-get completely breaking to the system
refusing to boot due to screwed up permissions. Having this experience,
I do not want any more users to suffer through this.
I would go as far as to say that alien should not be made available in Ubuntu
at all without some intense warnings of its potential consequences.
