How can I convert a DEB to install in Fedora ?

Get alien here: http://krege.fedorapeople.org/alien/
Next question: Is it a good idea or would you be better off compiling
the program from source?
From my experience....recompiling the source is heads and shoulders
above trying to
convert a DEB. If worse comes to worse, I simply do a make install
rather than trying to create an RPM. I know it's
not the "proper" way...but sometimes work arounds are needed.
