Most Debian distros ship with a command line utility called 'alien'
that will convert an .rpm package to a .deb, and it works the other way
as well. While I have used it numerous times, and it has always worked
perfectly, it is architecture-specific; that is, if you want a 32-bit
package you have to run alien on a 32-bit system. However, I think
the source package does not have to be the same architecture, but I'm
not so sure about that. If I'm right that would be an easy solution for
you.

There are also tools to produce a .deb or .rpm from source, but they're
too scary for me. But I'm sure a Slacker could figure them out. :)
