Of course not in raw form.  This is one of the big flaws with Red
Hat.  But you can do something like

DEBIAN_END_OF_NAME_CHAR = # one of ._- ;-)

for d in deb/*; do if [ -d d ]; then
 if [ ! -e rpm/$d ]; the mkdir rpm/$d; fi
 for p in $d/*; do
   PBASE=`(cd rpm/RPMS; ls | fgrep ${p%${DEBIAN_END_OF_NAME_CHAR}*})`
   for r in $PBASE; do ln -s ../RPMS/$r rpm/$d/$r; done
   echo "$r" >> list_of_packages_not_needing_hand_linking
 done
fi; done

and get a head start on porting the directory structure from Debian to 
RedHat.  The bloated RPMS directory has the advantage that you don't
need to go cd'ing around when installing or ftp'ing, of course.  So
keep it around.

Making that script work is an exercise for somebody who will actually
use the RPM library ;-)

Ain't computers wunnerful?
