Find only replaces "{}" with the filename under "-exec". You have piped
the output of the implicit "-print" command into 'xargs'. You must either
use xargs' substitution method:
find / -size +459976c -noleaf -type f -name '*.deb' |\
xargs -n 1 -i{} dpkg-split -s {} && rm {} # I think...
or change find:
find / -size +459976c -noleaf -type f -name '*.deb' \
-exec dpkg-split -s {} && rm {} \;
