A Debian package is an 'ar' archive with two files: - control.tar.gz (metadata) - data.tar.* (content) Because cve-bin-tool only cares about the content it can skip iterating the unpacked archives and go straight to data.tar. This file may be compressed with a number of compressors so don't hardcode gzip, use glob to find the filename and let tar determine how to unpack it.
