Hi, thanks for answering. Yes, we are aware that we can install debian packages with opkg directly. This is not a problem, but we have an application which is calling dpkg -l command in order to get the list of all installed packages. This list is expected to be in a format debian packaging system is using it, thus working with opkg doesn't give real results, if you know what I mean. Currently we are providing scripts to overcome this problem, but application could use dpkg for other functions also (i.e. upgrade, etc.) and this could be a problem for us. This is why we want to have original debian packaging system, without changing distribution. If this is not possible with Angstrom, than we have to stick with wrapping opkg.
