When you install a .deb package it only installs to the
fully-qualified paths inside the .deb file. It doesn't install
anything to the current directory, so it doesn't matter where the
.deb is located when you issue "dpkg -i" or "apt install ./file.deb"
(I am not sure if it is even possible for a .deb file to contain a
relative file path, but if it is, they typically don't.)
Thanks,
Andy
