Edit debian packages easilly (or more easier).

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryukinix/debit/master/debit -o ~/.local/bin/debit

You need to unpack your debian package to edit manually, for that use:

debit unpack package.deb

That command will extract the following files:

├── control.tar.xz
├── data.tar.xz
├── debian-binary
├── extras-control
│   ├── conffiles
│   ├── control
│   └── md5sums
├── extras-data
│   ├── etc
│   └── usr
└── package.deb

You can edit the contents of extras-* directories and then after finished, in the same directory you called debit unpack, create a new package with:

❗ Take care of extras-control files, specially update extras-control/md5sums file if you edit anything there (maybe debit should take care of that someday)

debit pack new_package.deb
