.tar.gz indicates that the file is a gzipp'ed tarball. Use the gunzip utility to unzip the tarball and tar xvf to untar the resultant tarball.

For example, if the gzipp'ed tarball is called openssl.tar.gz, you could do the following to unpack it:
Code:
$ gunzip openssl.tar.gz
$ tar xvf openssl.tar

dh_gencontrol

DH_GENCONTROL(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_GENCONTROL(1)

NAME

       dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file

SYNOPSIS

       dh_gencontrol [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with
       the proper permissions.

       This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol(1), which calls it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym
       packages), and passes in some additional useful flags.

       Note that if you use dh_gencontrol, you must also use dh_builddeb(1) to build the packages.  Otherwise, your build may fail to build as
       dh_gencontrol (via dpkg-gencontrol(1)) declares which packages are built.  As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym packages, it some
       times adds additional packages, which will be built by dh_builddeb(1).

OPTIONS

       -- params
	   Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).

       -uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params
	   This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).  It is deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
