Sure.

Well, not exactly.  RPM != DEB.

You don't.  DEBs are packaged as source tarballs with a /debian
directory in them in which you typically do dpkg-buildpackage.  But that
assumes a clean separation of modules and userspace, which the lustre
source does not have, unfortunately.

So, to rebuild the DEB you grab the source tree (i.e. from git) or
tarball (and unpack it) and then run:

$ configure [arguemnts]
$ make debs

Cheers,
b.
