Not using apt, using dpkg-deb -x.
-x, --extract archive directory
Extracts the filesystem tree from a package archive
into the specified directory.
apt-cross can help you get the actual .deb (whether the architecture
matches or not) or you can just go to the packages.debian.org website
and download the .deb directly from the mirrors.
Or use a chroot and install the package normally inside it:
$ sudo pbuilder create
$ sudo pbuilder login
# apt-get install foo
# exit
