This needs to be sent to the yocto@yoctoproject.org mailing list
rather than the openembedded-c...@lists.openembedded.org mailing list.

It should also be sent using 'git send-email' if possible and the
description of why this change is needed needs to be included in the
commit message for the patch.

You'll also need to add a 'Signed-off-by' line to the patch.

The full contribution guidelines for opkg-utils are now in the file
'CONTRIBUTING' in the root of the source tree. See
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/opkg-utils/tree/CONTRIBUTING
for an online copy.

Regarding the change itself, is the 'debian-binary' file still allowed
to be infront of the 'control.tar.gz' file in the archive? Other than
that question, the change looks good at first glance.

If any of that doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll try to help out.

Thanks,
