I think the rpm is "hidden" inside one of the binaries. Debian woody comes 
with rpm. So, provided your /etc/apt/sources.list is up to date and valid, 
you just need to

# apt-get install rpm

(Otherwise just download and manually install the rpm deb from wherever you 
get your debs.)

But don't use rpm for normal rpm packages because dpkg and rpm may overwrite 
each other's installs and make a mess of your system. Alien is the 
recommended tool for importing rpm's (but I never used it). The intel 
pseudo-rpms should be fine (because all they do is create some files in 
/opt/intel), but for e.g. installing KDE from redhat rpms would probably end 
in disaster.
