SOP for Re-creating Debian binary packages with dpkg-repack

# SOP for Re-creating Debian binary packages with dpkg-repack
#
# Description:
# If you've installed a Debian package upon a machine, but lost the binary archive,
# then it is difficult to copy that package to another machine.
# Thankfully is a simple solution for recreating a Debian package from an installed system.
# dpkg-repack allows you to turn a package which you've installed back into a binary .deb file.

# step 4: Make binary Debian packages
> dpkg-repack xandros-libxandrosncsui
dpkg-deb: building package `xandros-libxandrosncsui' in `./xandros-libxandrosncsui_4.0.511-2_i386.deb'.
> dpkg-repack xandros-xncsapplet
dpkg-deb: building package `xandros-xncsapplet' in `./xandros-xncsapplet_4.0.511-2_i386.deb'.
> dpkg-repack xandros-xncsconfig
dpkg-deb: building package `xandros-xncsconfig' in `./xandros-xncsconfig_4.0.511-2_i386.deb'.

# step 5: Copy your debian packages to another EPC
skip

# Final step: In another EPC, and your binary Debian packages are located in /mnt/ncs
> dpkg -Ri /mnt/ncs
