Also you don't need any special tools to convert or extract rpms or debs. makepkg will automatically extract those archives via bsdtar (part of libarchive). I would move /usr/local/Brother stuff to /usr/share/Brother You might have to edit some of those scripts and wrappers with sed to get the proper paths. If you're using cups you need to remember to add your printer to the cups server for it to work.
