I believe this check is present in opkg-build just to ensure compatibility with
the Debian Policy Manual. I don't remember this being an actual restriction of
opkg.

You could try patching the opkg-build script (in opkg-utils) to remove this
check and see if opkg is happy to install the resulting package.
