Unset TAR_OPTIONS when extracting .deb archives
We don't want the extraction to be affected by user settable environment
variables either. The command line tool is considered an interface for
which we want as much control as possible to guarantee no unintentional
behaviour changes to the format or they way it's being handled.
Closes: #530860
