It took me significant googling to finally install DBDesigner. For friends I will document the steps here.
1. Download DBDesigner (rpm version) here
2. After downloading this file you will need alien to convert it to .deb, if you don't have it installed, just type sudo apt-get install alien

3. cd to where you downloaded the rpm package and install it using sudo alien -i DBDesigner4-0.5.4-0.i586.rpm
4. At this point DBDesigner is installed in /opt/DBDesigner4 but if you try to run it (./DBDesigner) it says libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
5. You need the library package. Download it here
6. Convert the package to .deb sudo alien kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-rh.1.i386.rpm
7. Verify you have the file /usr/lib/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so
8. Copy and rename the file sudo cp libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /lib/libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so
9. Go to /opt/DBDesigner4 and run ./DBDesigner
10. Please change the font ;)
Edit: I do not use DB Designer anymore since the last... hmm 3 years ;) My SQL Workbench is so cool
