1. Rpm *is* supported on Ubuntu, but it is deprecated in favor of: 2. Conversion via alien. So, I installed alien, converted all the rpms to .debs, modified my installer shell (that installed all the rpms in a working order) to do the .debs instead, and it seems to work fine except, as I've complained about before: The desktop integration doesn't work. Actually, there is no desktop-integration package for Debian systems, so I just go through Nautilus manually and tweak the settings from OOo to LO and all is well in the world.
