This was one of the things I found very painless with gentoo surprisingly enough. I could easily slap together an ebuild on my local overlay that matched the dependencies of the deb/rpm even if that meant some old as dirt dep that wouldn't be on my machine normally. Then just `emerge sync -r localoverlay && emerge category/package-name` like normal. Maybe 5-10 minutes at most to do and I'd have a fully managed install that'd continue to work even if I tried to install it 5 years from now.

I've tried similar on debian, ubuntu, and centos but fighting with apt or yum and their (seemingly) comparatively brittle packaging systems got very old very quickly. Not that it can't be done easily on those systems but so far I haven't managed it yet.

Nix I find can also be really nice for this, especially since flake based packages are pretty much self contained. Still a lot less pleasant compared to the portage/ebuild route though.
