specific) feature?

deb is  an 'ar' archive, so you  can extract and
play  with it. Please
see:


http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1998/debian-devel-199809/msg01544.html

  Just curious to know what search query you used to
get the above link.

The  only  issue  being  running the 
{pre,post}{install,rm}  scripts,
etc.,.  AND those packages that are built with
--whatever-dir=/etc/ or
somesuch in the package...  so that might become a
pain.

cheers,
