Issue body

- [x] Have you signed the [CLA](http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/contributors/)? Unpack deb packages in the same way that the stage-packages DebPackage does (via dpkg-deb). This motivates a small refactoring to move "extract_deb()" to a place that both handlers can use. A lot of the code on this PR comes from a work-in-progress branch by @cmatsuoka . Thanks! ----- CRAFT-117
