Unfortunately you're about to cause your self a world of pain by mixing 
packages from one distribution of Linux with another. Unfortunately, in Linux 
if a package is from one distribution or another, it is highly advised to use 
packages only for the distribution you are on. This is caused by version 
mismatches of libraries, locations of tools, and the scripts used to start 
the installation/configure it. SuSE is as far from Debian in many ways as an 
apple is to an orange. While both are fruit and they both are sweet, they 
aren't one and the same.
