opkg-build and dpkg-deb 1.17.x

[Thilo Cestonaro <thilo@cestona.ro>]

Hey all,

with a recent change in dpkg-deb (
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=547dca4c3ff23df5dfa554f1943b371cd7056ee4
), the packages generated by opkg-build will not be accepted by dpkg-deb
anymore. The change disallows that the data.tar.gz is packed into the
ipk or deb before the control.tar.gz.

Supplied patch for opkg-utils repo fixes this.

Greetings
Thilo
