The RPM tool set  is available as a deb package.   It is useful to
have it on a Debian based system to examine RPM based packages.

I would not recommend installing RPM application/library packages on a
DEB based system using the RPM tools.

In fact, the packages should be **native** to the distribution e.g.
not to mix Debian package with Ubuntu and vice versa.   There may be
subtle artefacts (bugs) that show up on "out of the box" use cases.
