Where does that put the Deb files ?

edit: should have written "where does dpkg put the files of the package ?" or "where does that put the Deb's files ?", sorry.

The .deb file should remain where it was when you downloaded it, dpkg just installs the contents of the .deb file.

Where is the contents of the .deb files put?

       --root=dir
              Set the root directory to directory, which sets the
              installation directory to «dir» and the administrative
              directory to «dir/usr/local/var/lib/dpkg».

Is there a point you're trying to make, or are you asking for technical information which would be better answered by man dpkg or a quick Internet search?
