No, I don't run Debian - but that is cool.
debian packages though don't work well with rpm based distributions.

I know there are conversion utilities between deb and rpm, and it
probably is possible to install dpkg and friends on rpm based
distributions, but it is cleaner to stick with the native package
manager if possible.
