DebianPlanet: Mozilla 0.9.1 Makes It Into Debian, What’s the Difference Between .debs and .rpms?

now resides in the non-US archives of the distribution pending a
determination of the legal status of distributing the version with
crypto intact. There’s also an interesting discussion on what the
real difference is between .debs and .rpms — an issue near and
dear to the hearts of Debianites as noise builds in favor of
standardizing around RPM.
