The primary archive management tools right now are mini-dinstall and
debarchiver. Two more are currently ITP'ed, both of which handle things in
a pool layout (rather than directory layout), and which may end up merged
into one.
(Disclaimer: I'm the author of one of the ITP'ed tools).
However, I do strongly recommend using one of the management scripts.
