I've had a poke around and I think I know what the problem is, but
haven't got a clue how to solve it.

If I've understood the source then

Package.Module calls alien to convert the noarch rpm to a deb
so
If I go to the noarch directory and try 
'alien --to-deb -k <MyProjectsName>.noarch.rpm' I get the following
error message
'Must run as root to convert to deb format (or you may use fakeroot).'

I have fakeroot installed though I have to admit I've never used it, 
Can Package.Module be changed to call alien using fakeroot?
