Ah, I rember! I used the file feature some times ago to install local .deb
packages with the possibility to automatically resolve package dependencies.
All I need to do was to create a packages.gz file and to add it to the
sources.list.
So you are right, this should work with an mounted nfs. (editing the
sources.list from a recovery console should do the trick if there is no file
URI possible)
