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).
