Try dpkg-scanpackages, available with the dpkg-dev package.
Then you could do something like
~ cd $where-you-keep-the-files
~ dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages.gz
then a line to /etc/apt/sources.list like
~ deb http://myhost/debian/ pool/
should do the trick, I think.

I'm afraid I don't know how to do the latter, but the steps I gave
should take care of the former.
