I do something like this:

- put packages in a directory, say /usr/local/packages/potato/kde
- cd /usr/local/packages 
- create an empty file named 'override'
- dpkg-scanpackages /usr/local/packages/potato/kde override > potato/kde/Packages
- Add in /etc/apt/sources.list the line:
  deb file:/usr/local/packages/ potato/kde/
- Run dselect, select 'apt' as access mode, execute the Update
  function and there you are (I hope ;)

Ciao
