Correct terminology of an "extracted, not installed" binary package



If I have run "dpkg -x foo.deb .",

would I describe the package as

a) uninstalled
b) unpacked and uninstalled
c) extracted and uninstalled
d) extracted

I think "unpacked" has a specific meaning (the state it's in during an 
installation) so it's not b, but I'm not sureed.

Is "extracted" a common term?

Sometimes I just test packages by extracting them and running them from 
./usr/bin relative, and I'm writing about that.
