more to the point, i was interested in whether there was a way to query an RPM file to see if there were looming conflicts. when i tried

$ rpm -qp --conflicts <dpkg file>

i was told there were no conflicts. ok, so i guess that means no conflicts at the package or capability level, but certainly, there's a conflict at the file level. should i not expect to be told about that
as well? just curious.

I suspect that just lists the conflicts specified by lines in the spec file like this:
Conflicts: initscripts < 4.26
