Debian binary package format supports various compressions. Per man deb(5):
NAME deb - Debian binary package format FORMAT ... The third, last required member is named data.tar. It contains the filesystem as a tar archive, either not compressed (supported since dpkg 1.10.24), or compressed with gzip (with .gz extension), xz (with .xz extension, supported since dpkg 1.15.6), bzip2 (with .bz2 extension, supported since dpkg 1.10.24) or lzma (with .lzma extension, supported since dpkg 1.13.25). List the archive files to have the 3rd name with the correct extension. The method avocado.utils.archive.extract() will handle the different compression format for us.
