How to unpack an repack a deb package?



Dear list,

I need to unpack and repack a debian package. Reason: I want to change the 
dependencies in that package. 

How can I do that? I imagine, to unpack the *.deb, then edit my control file, 
after that pack it again. 

Is it that easy? I googled, but ar -x paket.deb /tmp/paket did not work. The 
dpkg manual did not help me or I misunderstood it.

Thanks for any hints.

Best 

Hans
