.SH "NAME"
Alien::Package::Deb \- an object that represents a deb package
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is an object class that represents a deb package. It is derived from

.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "init" 4
.IX Item "init"
Sets have_dpkg_deb if dpkg-deb is in the path. I prefer to use dpkg-deb,
if it is available since it is a lot more future-proof.
.IP "checkfile" 4
.IX Item "checkfile"
Detect deb files by their extension.
.IP "install" 4
.IX Item "install"
Install a deb with dpkg. Pass in the filename of the deb to install.

Test a deb with lintian. Pass in the filename of the deb to test.
.IP "get_deb_member_list" 4
.IX Item "get_deb_member_list"
Helper method. Pass it the name of the deb and it will return the list of
ar members.
.IP "getcontrolfile" 4
.IX Item "getcontrolfile"
Helper method. Pass it the name of a control file, and it will pull it out
of the deb and return it.
.IP "get_datamember_cmd" 4
.IX Item "get_datamember_cmd"
Helper method. Pass it the name of the deb and it will return the raw
command needed to extract the data.tar member.
.IP "scan" 4
.IX Item "scan"
Implement the scan method to read a deb file.
.IP "unpack" 4
.IX Item "unpack"
Implement the unpack method to unpack a deb file.
.IP "getpatch" 4

This method tries to find a patch file to use in the prep stage. If it
finds one, it returns it. Pass in a list of directories to search for
patches in.
.IP "prep" 4

Adds a populated debian directory the unpacked package tree, making it
ready for building. This can either be done automatically, or via a patch
file.

More sanitization of the version is done when the field is retrieved, to
make sure it is a valid debian version field.
