Comment:
It's fairly easy to extract files from .deb packages with 'ar x package.deb' and install them manually, eg. in /usr/local or ~/. I've done this on a couple of occasions when I needed a quick and dirty solution, but I wouldn't be comfortable with an application that installed 'foreign' package files in the same places as official Void pkgs.
