There is dpkg-repack package, but it does need dpkg-dev as a dependency which is not in the repos.
You could grab it here from the sdk-repo: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/d/dpkg/ Grab the package, that does correspond to the installed version of dpkg on your N900. Query that with

Code:

apt-cache policy dpkg

Install them normally to invoke as follows:

Code:

sudo gainroot
dpkg-repack package_name_here

You will find the package in the working directory, which might be /home/user in my example. Adjust the package name in the command example please.
