Interesting solution and goal. With docker on windows now could also easiky leverage an apt repo everywhere.

Docker run --rm -v (pwd):(pwd) dpkg --unpack package-name

Thanks for taking the time to look at it. The Docker approach looks like a strong approach, but I suspect applications leveraging this solution would be confined to the container.
the -v flag above mounts the current directory to the container. So once the deb is extracted the contents will be in the docker host folder
