Dependencies in deb packages

[ccztux]

In contrast to the rpm packages:

[root@cl01]: ~$ rpm -qpR ncpa-2.3.1.el7.x86_64.rpm
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

the deb packages have dependencies:

[root@cl01]: ~$ dpkg -I ncpa-2.3.1.amd64.deb

Is this caused by the way the deb packages are built (alien)?

The dependencies with specific versions are causing errors when installing/updating/downgrading NCPA on Ubuntu.

There are some weird issues with the alien version of the deb packages, but we are going to be resolving this in NCPA 3 due to the fact we will be building deb packages using the proper method rather than turning the rpms into debs.
