I am trying to set up a 'virtual filesystem' where I can add/remove debian packages without harming the real system. This will be for testing purposes for building new debs and checking that the files are installed in the correct place.
I would like to be able to install the packages under a different directory, e.g. /usr/local/src/debpkgs/ and would like to read and modify the package database. Is there a switch to change the root directory for installing/deinstalling deb packages? Is it possible to defer the setting up of the packages until a later date (so that any user can install the packages)? Is there a good debian package reference that explains advanced usage of the debian package manipulation tools?
