might be worth investigating if we can test the packages on docker...

[mlois-efimob]

I think that the OpenWrt project that uses this package format has docker images already built for every release: https://github.com/openwrt/docker also other distributions as OpenEmbedded uses ipk as well.

In what way do these packages actually differ from deb packages?

I have a need for this for supporting yocto build communities. I'm exploring what it would take to write this.
