Alternatively one could use apt-cacher ...
Thanks for the quick answers. I didn't want to set up apache or any
server, but it might be I have to. The problem of syncing against
debian mirrors is already resolved. I use apt-mirror
(http://apt-mirror.sourceforge.net/) which so far has worked pretty
nice for me (I'm wondering why this is not officially packaged yet),
so I do have the repositories locally.
Problem is how can make-file understand the repositories in my local
disk. According to Marco this is an unresolved problem and he
suggested to set apache, which is something I want to avoid. He
indicated also that there are some possible changes to add this
support (for apt-sources URIs like "file:"), but I have no clue on
what to touch and experiment. I've never directly played with chroot
for example, but if I find anything, and that happen to work I'll let
you guys know.
