as a matter of fact, there is an ARchive program called ar. I presume
it’s even oder than tar... but unless you know about how .deb files are
made up, you most likely haven’t heard about it.

Well, as it would brake it, no. But thanks for the hint :-)

Or did you have programs with the installer? In that case, please paste
any error messages and relevant log files.

I do. But I think it’s ok to have the users look in the welcome screen
what phases would be run, and then run
$ install.sh debian next_phase second_next_phase...
This also gives more control over the flow.
