dptrepack.sh helps creating repackaged tarballs, suitable for feeding into dpkg-source(1).  This command
       is deprecated in favor of the functionality provided by uscan(1) in conjunction with the Files-Excluded
       stanza in debian/copyright.

       Work is commenced in three stages:

       •   dptrepack.sh unpacks the provided upstream tarball.

       •   debian/repack.local is sourced to remove unsuitable content.

       •   dptrepack.sh   packs   the   sources   again,   under   a   suitable   file   name   in  the  form
           "package_ver.orig.tar.gz" (suffix depending on initial compression).

       dptrepack.sh invokes debian/repack.local in an environment where rm and mv are replaced  with  functions
       that reflect the operations in the MANIFEST file, if present.
