The *easiest* way to extract a file or two from a .deb package is to use
Midnight Commander (mc) or The Gnome file manager (GMC). With either of
these you can just enter a Debian package as if it were a directory and
manipulate files like you would if you were in a real directory, copying
or viewing them very easily.
