Both formats, briefly
DEBIN
A DEB is the installable package used by Debian, Ubuntu and the distributions built on them. It holds the program files next to the metadata that lists dependencies and describes what to run during installation. Underneath it is an archive, so converting one lets you read through the contents without installing anything.
CPIOOUT
CPIO stores a stream of files together with their metadata, and it is still standard where Linux boots from an initramfs image or where an RPM package carries its payload. Desktop software rarely opens it directly. Convert a CPIO archive when you need to see what a boot image or a package actually contains.
