I would expect most software that "only works on RH" to run fine on debian (and Fedora, SuSE, etc). Most of the extras are actually the same things on most distributions, albeit maybe not things installed by default.
Yeah. Until you get a fault report from one of your costumers that you just can't reproduce. Then, after weeks of debugging, you realize that the glibc/zlib/etc. shipped with the costumer's distribution has a bug (or feautre) which the glibc/zlib/etc. shipped with your distribution doesn't have and that caused all the trouble...
