Installation of the deb package does not do much more either...

I just did an autopsy of its contents:

armin at fifi:/tmp> ar -vx some-gnu-utils_0.1_arm.deb
x - debian-binary
x - control.tar.gz
x - data.tar.gz

armin at fifi:/tmp> cat debian-binary
2.0

armin at fifi:/tmp> tar -xvzf control.tar.gz
control

armin at fifi:/tmp> cat control
