I use the following:
* Put the debs in ~/public_html
* cd into ~/public_html and run the script below
* apt-get update
* apt-get install <whatever>
The deb line I use is of the form:
deb http://localhost/~paul /
And the script is three lines long:
#! /bin/sh
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -c9 > Packages.gz
dpkg-scansources . | gzip -c9 > Sources.gz
The two programs refered to above are in the dpkg-dev package.
In my ~/public_html directory, I would thus have:
foo.deb
bar.deb
Packages.gz
and an empty Sources.gz (for example).
The manpages for the two dpkg- programs have some more information.
