Other things I should add:

* When you extract dpkg-deb from the dpkg .deb - it will want to be linked
  with the libdpkg.so.0.0.0 library.  In order to do this, you will need to
  unpack that as well, and do "export LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD=<directory>" where
  <directory> is where the library is sitting.

* The NetWinder doesn't come with chroot.  You can extract the Debian chroot
  out of the shellutils .deb using ar and tar/gzip.

* When you get inside the chroot, you'll need to do:
 
     mv /sbin/ldconfig.new /sbin/ldconfig

  If you don't, dpkg will complain.

  You'll also need to:

     touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
     touch /var/lib/dpkg/available
