I haven't used it myself, but atool would seem to match this at a quick glance: Package: atool Depends: perl Description: A tool for managing file archives of various types atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar, tar+gzip, zip etc). The main command is probably aunpack, extracting files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded "multiple files in archive root" problem by first extracting to a unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if possible. aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake. . Other commands provided are apack (create archives), als (list files in archives), and acat (extract files to standard out).
