Yes. As long as the Packages file is in sync with your partial mirror.
(Just in case you didn't know, dpkg-scanpackages can be used to build
a local Packages file).
Since deity allows you to use a source list (a list of sources of
deb packages) you can list as many or few sources as you wish. These
sources can be local (floppy/harddisk/cdrom/tape) or remote (nfs/ftp/
http/smb/ncfs). You'd just add the appropriate "url" to your source
list that points to you local directory of deb packages.

I hope this answers your question,
