There is a script I found called ipkg-link that does this.

Usage:
    ./ipkg-link add    packagename (links "packagename" to root filesystem)
    ./ipkg-link remove packagename (unlinks "packagename" from root
filesystem)
    ./ipkg-link list   mountpoint  (lists packages on "mountpoint", e.g.
'/mnt/hda')
    ./ipkg-link mount  mountpoint  (links all packages on "mountpoint",
e.g. '/mnt/hda')
    ./ipkg-link umount mountpoint  (unlinks all packages on "mountpoint",
e.g. '/mnt/hda')

I've attached the script.

I have noticed that in Opie, the aqpkg graphical front-end to ipkg does
make all the links automagically.
