Then may alien is a better way to go than UseRPMTools.
Assuming you have a .deb

alien --to-rpm package.deb

or even

alien --to-rpm package.tar.gz (coming from TGZ package generated by CPack)

will be more out of his source tree :))

Primary alien site is:
http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/

but it seems unreachable.

Alien is handy but I don't know if it generates as "clean" package
as you may generate with dedicated tools.
