Whether Ubuntu packages for the toolchains will be built in the future
or not, you can still compile the toolchains yourself :

Indeed you can convert rpm packages to .deb, but .deb are available at

If by three ways you mean

1°) Install the .deb
2°) Convert .rpm to .deb and then install the .deb
3°) Compile your own toolchain from sources

I guess it's correct.
