Does exactly the same effect, but i think it does not need an extra /,
since apt-get complains that the local repository should _not_ be
precedded by //.
Anyway, the double / is for specyfiyng another hostname, that is why
you use it for ftp and http :
http://hostname.domainname/your/path/to/place
while a local repository is :
file:/path/to/files
Maybe i should fill a bug against apt ?
