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!!!
