Thanks to Ralph and tito for very helpful guidance.

I have created a working local repository by what I suspect is almost the
simplest method possible:

    mkdir -p /usr/local/repo/FreeSwitch
    rsync -Pav *.deb /usr/local/repo/FreeSwitch
    cd /usr/local/repo/FreeSwitch
    dpkg-scanpackages . >Packages
    apt-ftparchive release . >Release
    echo 'deb [trusted=yes] file:/usr/local/repo/FreeSwitch/ /'
        >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/local.FreeSwitch.list
    aptitude update
