Would it be posslbe to make apt recognize a complete, unplitted url, so long
as the .deb's and Packages file are all in a directory together and the
Filename: lines in the Packages file doesn't have a directory component?
You'd just need to make it assume the trailing 2 fields were empty, I think.
It's a degenerate case that'd be very nice for small archives. (Generate
Packages file with 'dpkg-scanpackages "./" /dev/null "" > Packages'.)
