Re: How to .DEB to .TAR.GZ
You can convert it to a tar.gz using "deb2targz" (in [community]). This assumes it actually works on your system... (toolchain and library differenes)

Re: How to .DEB to .TAR.GZ
Make a PKGBUILD whose build() function detars the tar.gz file into the $pkgdir. Use flags like -p to preserve permissions when detarring. Then you'll have a package which you can use pacman to install.
Or you could just detar the tar.gz file onto your /. However, I like the first approach better because pacman will track/warn you about whether files in the package you're trying to install conflict with any files already existing on your filesystem. Also, you can always do pacman -R if you want to uninstall later.
