The problem is worse than that. For example, apparently Mandriva does not make 
packages for programs needed to make Debian/Ubuntu packages (fakeroot and 
another one I don't remember).

So, concretely, you can't create Ubuntu/Debian packages from Mandriva, unless 
you compile the needed programs!

I don't know if it is true for other rpms distribution, or if the contrary is 
true (if you can create rpms from Ubuntu/Debian).
