Hello,
this info about dpkg-deb was just what I missed since I had to give up dpkg-repackage for a while. Repackaging current iptables-amd64 as iptables-i386 with slightly modified dependencies was a matter of seconds. (This is needed, since iptables for i386 won’t work with any amd64-kernel on stock i386 Debian installations, even not with amd64-lib installed.
Thank you for your valueable hint.

[...] that a better way for extracting the files does exists, which makes it easier than doing it [...]

I’d say this is the apt/dpkg way of repacking debs, so it should apply to all Debian-based distros (like, for example, Ubuntu ;))

Thank you very much! It worked perfect. Just one question, does this apply to Ubuntu packages as well? I mean, repacked deb worked on ubuntu for me, but is this also the “Ubuntu way” of repacking debs?
