Hi,

The md5sum of your recreated package does not match the md5sum of the
package in the archive (according to the package listing downloaded from
the archive). Since they both have identical version numbers, apt is
(rightly) convinced that your local versions have been corrupted through
some mechanism and that it must do a fresh download. An alternative
would be to create local repository [0] from your rebuilt packages and
pin it to higher priority than everything else.
Potentially this is great because now I have to carry
/var/cache/apt/archives around all the time when I reinstall new systems
and if dpkg-repack would work as advertised (I think ;-) ) then I would
not have to!

Thanks Roberto. I am going to follow the directions in your website and
build a depository. Then "all" I would have to do is use my install
script and point apt at the depository. Thanks.
