ChromeOS is Linux-based operating system. I don't know, what exactly is different compared to "normal" Linux distribution. You should be able to execute Linux binaries there.
.deb packages are not any ultra proprietary, extra DRM-protected things. It is just .tar.gz archive enclosed in the ar archive. So, you can easily extract files from the .deb package, copy them to your chromebook and execute them. I don't expect dependency on too many libraries.
