I'll go the RPM route moving forward. As a general note: The rpm side has not seen lots of development since quite some time so while i'm confident that the Debian side works reasonably well (since that is in active usage) I can't say that for the rpm side (of which I mostly know that tests still pass and that gbp can build itself with the RPM version currently in Debian (4.16)) - just in case you hit other things that look odd.
