Convert a spec file to debian

Question

We are migrating our servers from CentOS to ubuntu. For a self written application we created a spec file to create RPM's for easy installation on CentOS. Now we want to convert it to the debian format. What is the simplest way to do it? I don't mean creating from the rpm a .deb file but converting the spec file to an ubuntu control file.

The canonical answer seems to revolve around alien --generate.

I have written spec2deb for that purpose.
