P2P Package Manager

Well that's not entirely true.

Apt can do what you want if you're willing to do a
little work. It's called aptpinning. You can add your
local repository. Make your own debian release and
make that the preferred release, and then allow
fallback to the external release type. It's a bit of
work you have to build your own packages to do this.

Aptpinning isn't necessary if your local packages are
not in any the servers you're using. I do this with
some multverse packages. Since I only use certain one
in multiverse, I just maintain my own packages and put
them in my own repsoitory. everything else comes from
debian repos.
