This really only does something very simple which is to manually handle the decompression of manually defined packages so as to not disrupt nested package installs. This is basically a straight rip of mouf/archive-installer (http://mouf-php.com), the only difference is that it's made to be slightly more flexible in terms of configuration.
Notes:
"always-install": "true" - This bypasses the version look up and does a full install every time useful for deployments where depenedencies are rebuilt each deploy - the default is true.
"omit-first-directory": "true" - This omits the first directory of the zip

A practical example of why you might want to do this is for managing drupal depenedencies, e.g.

}You need to make sure the target install directory exists first or the unpack will fail.
