It is unfortenately not possible to convert an spec file to .deb control file. The .spec file and the .deb control file have to be maintained manually. But the sources and .changes file and patches are all shared.<br>

But that won't be done by the people on build.opensuse.org. But perhaps others will add it to the build service, it's opensrc so why not ;) But the openpkg spec files are very different than the regular .spec files, hence those .spec files can probably not be used for other distributions :(<br>
