Note that Lintian is designed to have exactly this capability.
Is the lintian-on-the-archive site still running somewhere?
http://lintian.debian.org/ says "Last updated: Tue, 9 Apr 2002
22:08:21 GMT" and it's targeted to woody.  It shouldn't be
difficult to set up a Lintian laboratory for unstable, and
after that a single grep will tell you what you want to know.

(Of course, you could do the unpacking directly, yourself, it's
just that using Lintian would be my path of least resistance.)
