Alien is a last ditch effort at best.  Are you able to obtain the source 
code to the .deb package and compile it yourself?  Odds are you are 
going to run into dependency/library problems with the debian package 
anyway, even if you do get alien up and running.

You extract the contents of the .deb using the following:
ar vx filename.deb
tar xvfz data.tar.gz
or
ar p filename.deb data.tar.gz | tar xz

You can then install it by hand or roll it into an RPM.
