ISVs only provide their proprietary software as rpm because not many corporation ask for Debian. Corporation do not ask for Debian because most ISVs don't provide Debian packages.
IMHO, the only way to break this circle is to provide a way to install rpm that doesn't look like a hack.
What's wrong with, "Make me a Debian package or lose a customer?"
I'd venture to guess:
We're sorry, but we can not presently justify the costs of maintaining a Debian port. Perhaps if one of our larger customers express an interest in it...
