I think the only mention of this I've seen (apart from debian-user)
is in /usr/share/doc/apt/changelog.gz where there is

  apt (1.3~pre3) unstable; urgency=medium

    […]

    […]
    * support "install ./foo.changes"

    […]

I have noticed that the sometimes unintended patterns discussed in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/08/msg01077.html
are being eliminated in bullseye, in favour of a formal aptitude-like
syntax. No word AFAICT on install ./foo.deb, ../foo.deb, /foo.deb etc.

As I wrote before, I don't know why they didn't use a commandline
option like   install -f foo.deb   to indicate installing a file
rather than a package.

Cheers,
David.
