That's how you _install_ it. If by "open" you mean "see what's in it"
then ar -x foo.deb extracts control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz which you
can read in the obvious way. See people's replies to my "Fik question
about Debian source packages" and "Manual ldconfig required HELP!!!"
especially the URLs of Debian FAQs therein.
