[OE-core] opkg-build and dpkg-deb 1.17.x

[Thilo Cestonaro]

Hey Paul,

thx for your hints. I managed to get git send-email to work and send it
with signed-off-by line.

Regarding your question; The debian-binary needs to be the first member
of the archive, then control.tar.gz and then the data.tar.gz.

Have a look at "man 5 deb" there is a detailed description how the
archive should look like.

Greetings,
Thilo
