You are at your own risk and you are supposed to know what you are doing.
What's that old police show saying... "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." Don't be playing with downloaded .deb packages if you're not prepared to re-flash. Best to stick with what's in the Application Manager. That said, I've not yet be forced to re-flash the system; Maemo seems quite tolerant of mucking about. Then again, maybe I've just been lucky so far.

to exctact a deb do dpkg -x debname.deb . where the "." can be any valid path to extract to. you can see what it installs and backup whatever you fear changing.
i am surprised none of you has run "top" while playing audio through speakers...
