Convert a spec file to debian


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.
