Subject: dpkg has no way to rebuild a package from installed software
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.6
As far as I can see, there is no option to dpkg to tell it to
rebuild a package from the installed files and control data.
So I suppose I'll have to figure it out for myself (sigh).
This should be an apt-get option. Apt-get --rebuild.
(insert arbitrary complaint about dpkg having a user interface
that I wouldn't care to see in the mirror when I wake up ..).

Install the dpkg-repack package, it's not part of the standard dpkg, and it
works perfectly well.
