alien. i mean the "alien" command that let you convert debs to rpm and 
many more. Just be sure you install also the java virt. machine 
separately. rpm -ivh then on the new created rpm should do the trick. 
worked on suse. Sould work on other rpm distros as well.
if not, ar -x *.deb, and you will get a data.tar.gz with all the package 
contents (and a control.tar.gz that you can forget about unless you want 
to learn deb/apt internals).
