This is cross posted over to debian-live.
What you typically would do here is use apt-cdrom add
It will ask you for a CD/DVD which it will scan and add an entry to
your /etc/apt/sources.list
In the future if you want a package:
apt install foo
will tell you what DVD or CD you need to insert. Works the same for
dependencies and you might need to switch out the DVD's a time or two
depending on what is required.
If you want to do this without DVD's you would need to sync a repo to a
machine on your LAN and configure a webserver to hand out the files.
