You would need to make a directory laid out like the pools on http.us.debian.org and have a suitable Packages.gz file and include that in your sources.list. Using "dpkg -i" is the correct way to install your custom packages, unless you really want to go through the effort of creating a repository for apt. In fact, all apt does is invoke "dpkg -i" after first downloading the .deb from the repository (and resolving dependencies and stuff like that). -D -- Bugs come in through open windows.
