Hello,

afaik from the results (see e.g.
http://mid.gmane.org/kdsci7-dqm....@argenau.downhill.at.eu.org or
discussions on debian-devel) the latter. The results seem to be
similar to what one would if he tried building rpms using cpio instead
of rpm. The breakage that actually seems to cause pain is that package
dependencies are incorrect or missing. (Even using alien to convert
the rpm would give better results in this respect).

One of or probably the strongest point of Debian is that we have a
policy that describes in great detail how packages must look like to
make it possible that the packages work together and upgrade
correctly. cmake built packages seem to ignore many parts of it.
