- workaround for `dpkg-deb --ctrl-tarfile /dev/stdin` not being
available in Wheezy
- Python arpy was the only implementation I found which allows to read
an ar archive from standard input without a filename (thus preserving
the ability to quit a package download early)
- since tar cannot transparently decompress content from standard
input (bug #773912), this has to be done in Python, too
- this is also ugly because Python does not work well for oneliners
- please revert this commit as soon as Jenkins run Jessie because dpkg
is also faster than Python arpy
