TLDR , apt-rpm should be retired because nobody use it since more
than
10 years .
I maintain a lot of debian package in Fedora but apt-debian still not
on Official repos you can get it from my devel corp repo [1]
My goal is make a system where rpm produce deb files , to allow Debian
migrate from deb to rpm .
rpm is much more powerful than Debian IMHO .

I can build .deb packages in Fedora and download packages with apt-
debian :
debuild -i -us -uc -b -d
from
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_packages_for_other_distribu...
That's the beauty of the DPKG ecosystem, you always have a myriad of
seemingly same tools and they often lack consistency.
Should I use debuild, dpkg-buildpackage, or one of the two others?
With or without rules? Should I rely on debhelper?
The list goes on.
You may also need to override dh_shlibdeps by adding the following
lines to debian/rules:
override_dh_shlibdeps:
dh_shlibdeps --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=--ignore-missing-info
Yes, that one needs an override on Fedora.
and
override_dh_strip_nondeterminism:
That one should be solved by one of my package submissions.
From [1] "I'd like propose retire this apt and
fedora-package-config-
apt".

Again, I have no problem with apt-rpm if someone wants to maintain it
and it keeps working, my problem is that it's called apt.
