Take a look at dpkg(8), apt.conf(5) and
/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
In particular, look at dpkg's options for --force-not-root and
--root=<DIRECTORY>. Typically, you could use this w/other force options
to install in $HOME. Set up apt w/it's Dir:: options to point to
directories in $HOME.
Once you've set things up, write a HOWTO and post it here and on Debian
User. ;-)
