It would be nice to be able to include local .deb files to a chroot when
running "pbuilder build" without having to set up an apt archive.  I
imagine something like this:

pbuilder build --localpkg ./binutils_2.14.90.0.7-5_hppa.deb openh323_1.13.5.4-3.dsc

This helps tremendously with bug-hunting when different versions of
build-tools might affect the outcome of the build.

Isn't having a local apt archive more generic ?

Is the requirement:

1. to shorten the command-line and procedure for installing packages locally
 (which you can always make hacks with a wrapper script and such)
2. to allow force-install of packages with unmet dependencies
 (which you cannot install with apt, but require dpkg).

Sort of both.  When you need to try different versions of some
build-dependencies it is easier to just specify them on the command line
instead of updating a local repository.


OTOH, is it possible to install a specific version of a package from an
apt-archive, even if it isn't the most recent one with the current
implementation of --extrapackages?

1.
The current implementation of extrapackages is only passing the
strings verbatim to apt, so it should be possible to specify the
version.

I cannot remember the method of specifying the version off-hand though.



2.
Currently it is possible to install extra packages by hand using:

So it is possible.  You would do that by, instead of installing
"binutils", installing "binutils=2.14.90.0.7-5".

There are many ways to do get custom packages into a pbuilder chroot.
Including them via command line switches would be the easiest, IMHO.
That's why I asked.

Yes, I think that was standard apt feature since some time, although
I cannot find it in the apt-get manpage.

As far as I know there is no command-line switch that automates
installation of custom package.
