How about:

  $ tar --to-stdout -xf emacs23-non-dfsg_23.4+1-1.debian.tar.gz debian/control 
| grep ^Section:
  Section: non-free/editors
  Section: non-free/editors

Which can be automated to extract just the field from the packages.

  $ tar xf emacs23-non-dfsg_23.4+1-1.debian.tar.gz --to-stdout debian/control | 
sed -n '/^Section:/{s/.* //;s@/.*@@p;q}'
  non-free

Bob
