In a nutshell, _apt-cmd() should call «_files -g '*.deb'» where it currently
calls _deb_packages.

I'm not sure whether it would be best to implement this with _alternative or
with an alternative at the _regex_arguments level (of which _apt_arguments is a
wrapper).  

I don't have time to investigate this further at the moment, sorry.

CHeers,
