+Tag: malformed-deb-archive
+Severity: error
+Check: deb-format
+Explanation: The binary package is not a correctly constructed archive. A binary
+ Debian package must be an ar archive with exactly three members:
+ <code>debian-binary</code>, <code>control.tar.gz</code>, and one of
+ <code>data.tar.gz</code>, <code>data.tar.bz2</code> or <code>data.tar.xz</code>
+ in exactly that order. The <code>debian-binary</code> member must start
+ with a single line containing the version number, with a major revision
+ of 2.
