Alien will convert between .deb, .rpm, slackware .tgz, Stampede .slp  
and  Solaris .pkg package types.  I have generally (with a few  
exceptions) had good luck converting .rpm to .deb, but have not tried  
any of the other possibilities.  I don't know how well this process  
handles dependencies (when I used Slack and Red Hat 10+ years ago,  
they didn't deal very well with dependencies, but hopefully that has  
improved).
