Here's a useful way to get at the contents of a deb package without having to load it.

Requires compile-3.3.5.uci or other package containing "ar" and assumes the deb package is in /home/dsl:
Code Sample
$ ar -p libgcc1_3.4.3-13sarge1_i386.deb data.tar.gz | tar -zvx

- the contents of the deb package will be found in /home/dsl

Also:  those fancying a gui solution to browse or unpack the contents of deb, rpm, and a lot of other archive formats, might like peazip.uci

I've also found that peazip can unpack  .zip files I've been sent that Busybox and gnuutils unzip can't.
