Bug Description

Here's the problem:
fakeroot alien fontforge-20070511-1.i386.rpm
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package fontforge: postinst postrm
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
mkdir: cannot create directory `fontforge-20070511/usr': File exists
unable to mkdir fontforge-20070511/usr: at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 196.

Creating deb files is possible with previous versions but they say:
mkdir: cannot create directory `fontforge-20070607/usr': File exists
mv: cannot move `fontforge-20070607/usr' to a subdirectory of itself, `fontforge-20070607//usr/local/usr'
