Currently file-roller can open .deb files using ar and tar, but it has two
important drawbacks:
 - It requires binutils installed, which is not the case on standard
installations.
 - It only shows the ar archive, which is not really useful, and should
directly show the full contents instead.

Therefore it would be really nice if file-roller could use the dpkg-deb command
(which is always here on Debian systems) to view and extract .deb files
(creating is also possible this way, but not really useful).
