Packages.gz for a local partial debian tree

[Mauro Mazzieri <mazzieri@gulliver.unian.it>]

Can someone please tell me what is the fastest way to set up a Packages.gz
and a debian directory tree. I want to use it to set up a local debian tree,
using the packages I've downloaded by hand, to put it in my
/etc/apt/sources.list

Also, what about a "local_mirror" option in the apt config file, that would
allow to create automagically a partial debian tree with only the downloaded
files?
