It is completely ridiculous that I need the entire repository to install a single package and its dependencies. End of story.

You can connect to the public repository or copy your own version of the repository. How else could it possibly work ?

Issue a command to apt that says "download this package and all its dependencies regardless of installed state on this machine".
