True, but not something that I'd like to do for 2 reasons:
 1. Security updates then become a manual process. Having a .deb somewhere, 
preferably in a repository makes that a lot easier to handle.
 2. RPM's scripts don't always map well to the debian equivalents, and in 
some 
cases could rely on programs that don't exist in the standard debian 
environment, specifically those that are not part of the LSB.
