A *.deb package is an ar archive, un-archive it.
Put binary and any dependent libraries not already part of the Amazon image in the appropriate part of /esys/* (USB storage, extension system) tree.
Check if the binary needs to write to conventional system areas, deal with those requirements (often arguments to the start-up command line).
If you can't do that with a binary package, then you will have to build it from the Debian source for that package with appropriate modifications.
