The nice thing about Debian .deb packages is that they are actually
just old-school "ar" archives. "ar -x", then you are left with
a few regular tar.gz files and an install script (which you may
wish to read, rather than run).

Of course, you'd want to grab the source, rather than the binary,
packages. And extracting the files is of course only the first
step; whether the code is actually portable to those other platforms
is a completely different question...
