In config, set

  offline_mode := true

You should be able to put files in either the 'incoming' dir (if they
have the _<arch>.deb suffix) or the local_dir dir, as configured in
'config'.

We still cannot debug your problem, because you need to provide
debug=true output especially for the 'make_paths" function in
common.sh failing.

You're contention that it's looking for pkg-foo  rather than pkg_foo
is simply wrong, see common.sh lines 94 and 104.

Yes, that's the wrong thing to do.
