It's normal - look at lynx.cfg file and modify it - it should contain lot 
of lines with first word SUFFIX (it tels how to transfer different filetypes)
an add lines like:

SUFFIX:.deb:application/octet-stream
SUFFIX:.tgz:application/octet-stream

I think that in Debian version of Lynx file lynx.cfg should at least contain 
first line!!!
