Does exactly the same effect, but i think it does not need an extra /, since apt-get complains that the local repository should _not_ be precedded by //. Anyway, the double / is for specyfiyng another hostname, that is why you use it for ftp and http : http://hostname.domainname/your/path/to/place while a local repository is : file:/path/to/files Maybe i should fill a bug against apt ?
