I don't use scratchbox, I do everything on-tablet. I don't compile. I have no source.

I have a pre-assembled .deb that I'd like to upload, and so this means I need to "explode" it back to a directory structure (including control info, postinst and postrm scripts) and assemble it into a "source" package using

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa -S

How do I explode the package and tweak it so that the dpkg-buildpackage command produces an acceptable blob that can be uploaded?
