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.
TAR.XZOUT
TAR.XZ runs LZMA2 compression over a TAR bundle and usually ends up the smallest of the common Unix archive types. Building one asks for more processor time and memory than gzip does. It fits large downloads well, because you pay that cost once and everyone who fetches the file saves bandwidth.
