Package: dpkg-repack
Version: 1.38
Severity: normal

The manual states that --generate can be used to create the directory structure 
for further manipulation.

However, the command line sample given to get around building a *.deb will 
result in a hidden file called "..deb" which is less than optimal. Here's a 
better command line sample:

sudo dpkg-deb --build . ../$(echo "$(grep Package DEBIAN/control | awk {'print 
$2'})_$(grep Version DEBIAN/control | awk {'print $2'})_$(grep Arch 
DEBIAN/control | awk {'print $2'}).deb")

You're welcome. :)
