Do you happen to have that ZIPped? I'm working on Windows here, and I wouldn't have a clue how to get into a Debian package even if it weren't likely to get me ejected from here with maximal force :-)
Having grown up with Red Hat I've always extracted deb packages with ar then untarred them (tar -xvzf). Even in Windows I tend to use the djgpp packages, though Cigwyn probably has ar and tar. In fact, I caught myself doing that with Knoppix the other day and of course Knoppix does have the apt package to install software.
MSYS has tar w/ gzip and bzip2, so I'm certain that Cygwin would. 7-zip/WinRar/some new versions of WinZip can handle these as well.
