Debian's .deb package is an "ar" archive.
You can extract data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz with a file debian-binary
with standard "ar" command.
$ ar -vt /Work/tmp/potato-make/sgml-tools/build/sgml-tools_1.0.9-5_i386.deb
rw-r--r-- 0/0 4 Dec 21 16:44 1999 debian-binary
rw-r--r-- 0/0 1626 Dec 21 16:44 1999 control.tar.gz
rw-r--r-- 0/0 332715 Dec 21 16:44 1999 data.tar.gz
Maybe you find something by reading maint-gude and packaging-guide.
