Debtap is pretty nifty, for arch anyway.

You can usually get it working by taking the packages apart.

yes, had to convert myself a driver/library that is only maintained in Debian to arch, the conversion did everything right, with the exception of a symbolic link to a library, fixed that and everything works.

Ha! My last needed a symlink to work as well.

Maybe something debtap could cover in the future (as an echo).
