If you include source packages: dpkg-source complains about extracting such packages: dpkg-source -x at_1:3.1.13-1.dsc dpkg-source: warning: extracting unsigned source package (at_1:3.1.13-1.dsc) dpkg-source: info: extracting at in at-3.1.13 dpkg-source: error: unrecognized file for a v1.0 source package: at_1:3.1.13.orig.tar.gz (I tries just renaming the files in the .dsc for this.)
