Multiple nested dependencies?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.
Apparently some packages just add their apt sources to /etc/apt/ during the install of their .deb
(I think google chrome does that)
