Slackware uses .tgz, where it puts control information (no deps) in.
Stampede uses .tgz as well, but default extension of packages is not .tgz
neither .tar.gz, but something else. BTW, a .deb archive consists of two
tar.gz files (control and data), glued together with ar (so you can use
standard POSIX tools to operate a package).
