First create a override file(you don't really need it IMHO but
dpkg-scanpackages does):
### file: overrides
apt optional utils
<progname> optional <section>
...
now create Packages files:
cd /ftp_root/dists/my_dist/main && dpkg-scanpackages binary-$ARCH \
overrides dists/my_dist/main > binary-$ARCH/Packages
