.deb packages are 'ar' files. You can create them with 'ar', but the recommended way seems to be to use dpkg-deb.

The packages themselves you can browse and/or download here:

# Just for reference, you can make a debian package using 'ar' from the command line
#
# A .deb file is just output from 'ar rcs'
