          I found this.
 
If you do not want to write an override file, just use /dev/null. when calling dpkg-scanpackages. 
 
 
Still in the /root directory do: 
 
     # dpkg-scanpackages debs file | gzip > debs/Packages.gz
 
 
In the above line, file is the override file, the command generates a file Packages.gz that contains various information about the packages, which are used by APT. To use the packages, finally, add: 
 
     deb file:/root debs/
 
Based on this, if I read it correctly, if I download a deb file, or convert an rpm to deb, and place it in /root/deb folder, (the folder modified by the folder name I actually placed it in, and replaced 'file' with '/dev/null', ( as I don't wont to make an override file), and add it to my sources list, apt-get will find whatever I put there after an update and I then can use apt-get to install the package. |

          | Nice tip, LRC. it can be useful to apt-get a package on a CD or removable device. Would it also go to the Net to get any dependencies that might be required for such packages? |
