Here's a script I use to do it:

paul@kippax:~$ cat public_html/debian/create-apt-source
#! /bin/sh
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -c9 > Packages.gz
dpkg-scansources . | gzip -c9 > Sources.gz
paul@kippax:~$

Three lines is all it takes. The commands can be found in the dpkg-dev 
package. You can you apt source lines such as 

  deb http://kippax/~paul/debian ./
  deb-src http://kippax/~paul/debian ./

(where your servername, path etc will be different)

Hmm, so if you ran that script in your debian directory and uploaded the 
Packages.gz and Sources.gz files, you could use:

  deb http://www.cooper.edu/~nahmia/debian ./
  deb-src http://www.cooper.edu/~nahmia/debian ./

Oh, and you might like to read the manpages at some point to find out what my 
script does. :)
