Well, my experience with Debian is limited but if your distro includes the text version of Midnight Commander then you are in luck. It can open rpm files like most other archives. Once open, press [ENTER] on the file name CONTENTS.cpio to access the actual rpm contents. I use this feature all the time when browsing my local archives. As for Debian installs, I'm sure it can be done since I recall several folks using W4L on Debian (Corel, Caldera, et al.) systems.
