By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of the
filename, this option removes that limitation.
It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.

cpio is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and extract

dpkg is a medium-level tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages.

This reduced dpkg-deb to the equivalent of "ar -p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar -zx".
However it saves space as none of the extra dpkg-deb, ar or tar options are
needed, they are linked to internally.

This is the default compression method inside the debian ar file.

This allows dpkg and dpkg-deb to extract deb's that are compressed internally
with bzip2 instead of gzip.
You only want this is your are creating your own custom debian packages that
use an internal control.tar.bz2 or data.tar.bz2.
