Do you have a script for converting the RPMs to Ubuntu packages, or
something? (The packaging I'm mentioning from Marco D'Itri is a Debian
source package that expects you to place the .rpms in the parent directory
or some other specified directory, and in the Debian source build stage,
unpacks them into the Debian package's temporary build directoy.)
