It's part of switching over to 1oo% Debian. A worthy cause in anybody's book.
I'm doing the same with Corel... {'course it's a tiny bit easier}
With Mandrake, you've got to change some paths though... move a few programs
around, etc...
Personally, I'd install dselect... or, just, reinstall with Debian and
add the rpms that you need. To me, that seems a little easier. Not knowing
how much you know about linux or how easily you can do the transition...
I can only say how I'd go about it. {:} Which is probably the hard way}
