I know about using dpkg for installing stray packages - ones that are not part of any distribution, not even sid. But is there a standard place within the debian file system where such are to be stored? I could just create a directory somewhere, but I suspect someone will have allocated one just for the them, and I'd like to use a standard location.
And is there any particular way to organize said directory to make it usable as a source for dselect? -- hendrik
