deb is the format, as well as filename extension of the software package format for Debian and its derivatives. Debian packages are standard Unix ar archives that include two tar archives. One archive holds the control information and another contains the installable data.
dpkg provides the basic functionality for installing and manipulating Debian packages. Generally end users don't manage packages directly with dpkg but instead use the APT package management software or other APT front-ends such as aptitude (nCurses) and synaptic (GTK).
