Description-en: Debian package archiving tool

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.

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.
