This is the sort of question apprpriate for debian-users, BTW - this
list is really for mentoring of future and current developers, rather
than beginning Debian administration tye questions.  That being said,

The actual .deb that got downloaded is at /var/cache/apt/archives/

The unpacked contents of the .deb are viewable by running 
dpkg -L libpgeasy

There may be other files created by maintainer scripts and so forth, but
that will get most of them.
