Description

Converts Debian .deb packages into Arch Linux package recipes when no official or AUR package is appropriate. It is useful for advanced users inspecting or adapting Debian packages with more accurate metadata mapping.

Converted packages can break systems if dependencies, scripts, or paths are wrong. Prefer official repositories or AUR when available, and review generated files before installing.
