I assume you want to do this on a small repository.
The packages files live in /var/lib/apt/lists, so for example, you would
run as follows. The first command schedules the packages to be
installed, and the second command actually installs them.
# awk '/^Package:/{print
$2}'
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nerim.net_debian-marillat_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages

xargs aptitude --schedule-only install
# aptitude install
