+<prgn>dpkg-repack</prgn> creates Debian package file out of a package
+that has already been installed. If any changes have been made to the
+package while it was unpacked (e.g., files in <file>/etc</file> were
+modified), the new package will inherit the changes.</p>
+ <p>
+This utility can make it easy to copy packages from one computer to
+another, or to recreate packages that are installed on your system
+but no longer available elsewhere, or to store the current state of a
+package before you upgrade it.</p>
