I misspoke here - "apt install /full/path/to/filename.deb" *also*
works and is not covered by your patch, but at least we can detect
the leading "/" or ".". Indeed, I suspect this line is the relevant
one?

  +	/.\// -'[[ $subcmd = install ]]' /'[]'/ ':files:package file:_files -g

(Yep.)

(Nope. `apt` is being a bit magic here, alas.)

.. apart from that, your patch is great and works for me :)
