OK. Between BusyBox's incomplete support of dpkg and Ubuntu's version of "the same thing", I finally got the following to "work":
Code:
dpkg --unpack *.deb /output/

Closer; but still not there . . .
What might I be missing now --

'Nother error on my part:
It seems as though there is no built-in way of redirecting dpkg to a set folder for an unpack operation. dpkg-deb has that feature available; but will not accept wildcards (?)
For example, this doesn't quite work as one might expect:
Code:
dpkg-deb -x *.deb /output/
This returns:
