No need to use the RPM.  The MySQL Admin package and MySQL query browser are 
both available in the universe repository.  Enable that, then just install 
them with synaptic, adept, aptitude, apt-get....etc. Lazarus, I don't know 
too much about, but as mentioned elsewhere, if you have an RPM, you can use 
alien to convert it to a .deb and install that way.  I've used that 
successfully a number of times.  (Worth noting.  A number of times when I've 
used alien, I've had to use the --scripts with it to convert the scripts as 
well to get everything to work correctly.)
