I can write a plugin for SS to support debian arhives. Could you send me the SDK?

Could you please briefly describe properties of the .deb files?
Is it something like header+tar+bzip2?
If so, we could add support to the untar plugin which already handles
RPM packages which have this concept.

deb package is a debian installation package. It is
ar archive of three files, one version information file, and two
tar.gz archives containing control scripts used for installation, and the actual program/data to be installed. For more inforation see
man deb.
As tar.gz is already supported by the tar plugin, support of deb files means simply adding ar support and putting it all together. This is already planned, but I am still missing the time to actually do it.

Support for Debian archives has been added for the next release of Altap Salamander (AS2.52b2/AS2.52).
