If you want to give apt a try, it also works with RPM these days.

If I understand correctly (please jump in and correct me debian ppl) then
.deb files are the rough equivalent of .rpm files. the rpm command on
redhat is similar to the dpkg command on debian. apt is a wrapper around
either dpkg or rpm depending on the system.
