You can use dpkg-scanpackages for that,
but I think you are missing a large portion of point here; 
is everything you need available from /var/cache/apt/archives?

If that's the case, that's the only source of Debian package
you will ever need. 
If not, you will need to work around debootstrap to get 
multiple deb source working.
