Description

Debian packages can be converted into Arch Linux package builds for cases where no proper Arch package exists. It is useful for advanced users who need to inspect and adapt packaging metadata across distributions.

This Git script should not be used to bypass official repositories or the AUR when a native package already exists. Converted packages can be incomplete or unsafe without manual review, especially when services, desktop files, or dependencies differ between distributions.
