Yes. That's the only way to make them available to apt. If you would give optional .deb files to piuparts, we would just copy them, make a repo locally and use that. All you need to provide is a local directory with all the .debs and a Packages file in there. Does not need to be signed or have a Release file or anything fancy. Andreas
