puts an unpacked .deb file back together
dpkg-repack creates a .deb file out of a package that has already
been installed. If any changes have been made to the package while it was
unpacked (ie, files in /etc were modified), the new package will inherit
the changes.

This utility can make it easy to copy packages from one computer to another,
or to recreate packages that are installed on your system, but no longer
available elsewhere, or to store the current state of a package before you
upgrade it.

Changelog: 

dpkg-repack (1.37) unstable; urgency=low

* Fix generation of conffiles list file. For some reason dpkg-query
does not list this file, so it has to be generated when there's a
Conffiles stanza in the package status. Closes: #651165
* Remove the Conffiles stanza from the generated package's control file;
dpkg ignores it anyway.
