file extension DEB - Debian Linux package file
File extension DEB description:
Package files created and used by Debian Linux operating system.
Package names are not properly unique, nor are they useful if you can find the name in no known repository. The Internet community has long ago solved the problem of unique identifiers with URIs. Packages SHOULD include a file in the metadata called “URIs”.
The metadata here described is meant to extend both *.deb and *.rpm in a fully compatible way. Compliance with normal implementations is a top priority.
URIs
Package names are not properly unique, nor are they useful if you can find the name in no known repository. The Internet community has long ago solved the problem of unique identifiers with URIs. Packages SHOULD include a file in the metadata called “URIs”. This file should contain data on packages referenced in the file (including the package itself) in the following format:
packagename URI
package2 URI2
Where it is suggested that the URIs be HTTP URLs which, when retrieved with the header
Accept: application/x-debian-package
or
Accept: application/x-rpm
The latest package in that format is retrieved.
If this file is included with the metadata, it can be used to determine if this package or a newer version is already installed, without checking the filesystem manually. This file SHOULD be a POSIX shell script. An exit code of 0 means the program is not already installed or an older version is installed. Exit code 1 means this version is already installed. Exit code 2 means a newer version is already installed.

Debian
The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system that we have created is called Debian GNU/Linux, or simply Debian for short.
An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer and does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other programs.
Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide.
However, work is in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, primarily for the Hurd. The Hurd is a collection of servers that run on top of a microkernel (such as Mach) to implement different features. The Hurd is free software produced by the GNU project.
A large part of the basic tools that fill out the operating system come from the GNU project; hence the names: GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. These tools are also free.
Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 18733 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) — all of it free.
It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian — carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.
