Here is a demo of what will be happening:

cd ~/Packages && dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages && gzip Packages

This creates the necessary files for apt to know what is in your local repositories.

Once completed insert the following into your sources.list file:

deb file:<Packages Directory> <repo> <section>
