I've slightly modified the subject line to "opkg-build: create
dpkg-deb compatible ipks/opks again" so that we can see in the
shortlog that this relates to opkg-build.

And for future reference, yocto at yoctoproject.org gets patches for
several sub-projects. For opkg-utils try to use something like
`--subject-prefix='opkg-utils PATCH'` when creating your patch.

I'm testing the patch now just to ensure opkg can still use the ipk
files created with this patch applied, I don't forsee any problems
though. Once it's been tested I'll merge this to the main opkg-utils
repository and update the recipe in openembedded-core to use the new
commit.

Cheers,
