[LEDE-DEV] opkg-lede not handling ar-ipks or debs anymore - bug or feature?

[Christian Beier]

Hi LEDE people,

I noticed that the LEDE fork of opkg does not install ar-packed .ipk files
nor .debs  anymore and tracked this down to [1]. 

What is the official roadmap/intended-way-to-go regarding opkg-lede being able
to install ar-packed .ipks and .debs? The opkg-lede package description still
states it's able to handle Debian packages as well [2].  

As [1] broke backwards-compatibility and we kinda depend on it, I'd personally
love to have ar-ipk/deb handling back, but if this break was intentional, I have
to accept it and work around it somehow.

Cheers,

   Christian
