The APT HOWTO section 2.2 reads:
"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 informations about the packages, which are used
by APT. To use the packages, finally, add:
deb file:/root debs/
After that just use the APT commands as usual."
What is the meaning of above line beginning with 'deb'? Where and how do I use that?
Thanks,
Mike

A program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes the potential for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
