Bug Description

It's currently not possible to install deb packages that aren't in the repository without going to the command-line
and doing dpkg -i *.deb.

Would it be possible to do something like YAST2 has with their Konqueror extension but for Gnome and .deb?
A GUI for adding your own deb files, maybe a private repository on the harddrive of some sort.

Sorry if this is assigned to the wrong package, but I couldn't find a bug using search that matched this.
