Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The binary package is not a correctly constructed archive. A binary Debian
package must be an ar archive with exactly three members: debian-binary,
control.tar.gz, and one of data.tar.gz, data.tar.bz2 or data.tar.xz in
exactly that order. The debian-binary member must start with a single line
containing the version number, with a major revision of 2.

Please refer to the deb(5) manual page for details.
