I don't see why that would have different results.
Because the conflict you were seeing was due to a file being moved from
a .deb to another one; with the 3 steps dpkg cannot gather this
information and it will warn you that file XYZ belongs to a package you
are not going to upgrade (you will do it in the third step, but dpkg
cannot know you are going to do it); if you do it all in one step, dpkg
is able to know that you are going to update all packages.
This isn't the best explanation, but if you re-read
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127774
it should be clearer.
The point is that all tutorials on the internet (including at oo.org) use the 3
steps.
Tutorials use the 3 steps because historically there have been multiple
packages in desktop-integration and you are supposed to use only one of
them. I think the current DEB packages have only one, so
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb desktop-integration/*.deb
will just pick it and work. RPM still have more than one, at least if I
recall correctly.
Is there an apt command to do this? I can't find it in any tutorial.
Simply
$ apt install ./*.deb ./desktop-integration/*.deb
(prefixing with "./" forces it to use local packages, even though it
will say it is "downloading" them).
While we tend to ship a self-contained set as much as possible, apt will
do everything dpkg does (as it simply calls dpkg under the hood) plus
downloading any needed dependencies.

Andrea.
