You'll have to build it yourself, it's not built/packaged
for Debian - but it's not terribly hard to rebuild rpm on
Debian.

rpm support on Debian is very limited anyway, anything
that involves querying an rpmdb is disabled.  In fact,
"rpm" on Debian is essentially rpmbuild - and the package
is marked as orphaned, which means it no longer has a
maintainer.  I am partly responsible for this, I've
asked the maintainer several rpm questions (including
asking for rpm-python, I wanted to have a Debian server
be able to host a yum repository made up of rpm packages
pushed up by an assortment of build machines), which led
him to look into upgrading rpm to a newer version - and
decide instead to drop it, ostensibly because a new
component has a license that conflicts with the Debian
guidelines.

You won't be happy using Debian to work with rpm packages
if you're going to depend on "official" Debian packages
to do it.
