Use this Debian package:

 Package: debview
 Depends: emacs21 | emacsen, binutils
 Filename: pool/main/d/debview/debview_1.9-1_all.deb
 Description: Emacs mode for viewing Debian packages
  After installing, you can use C-d in dired mode to view the .deb file
  on the current line.  Allows both the structure and contents of a .deb
  archive to be examined.
