not sure i understand the question. if you have thing1.deb which
depends on thing2.deb, then you can just install them both...? "dpkg
-i thing2.deb thing1.deb"

for all these examples I think the ubuntu packaging guide covers it:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
also there's the "Debian new maintainers guide" which covers similar
