How do you handle dependencies where there is a version of the

You don't: just like "apt install ./foo.deb", apt takes its existing
package database, integrates knowledge of foo.deb, and nothing else.
If there are adjacent packages to https://example.com/foo.deb, apt
shouldn't know anything about them, IMHO.
