Description-en: Debian package archiving tool
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 (i.e. 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.
