Well that's not entirely true.
Apt can do what you want if you're willing to do a little work. It's called aptpinning. You can add your local repository. Make your own debian release and make that the preferred release, and then allow fallback to the external release type. It's a bit of work you have to build your own packages to do this.
Aptpinning isn't necessary if your local packages are not in any the servers you're using. I do this with some multverse packages. Since I only use certain one in multiverse, I just maintain my own packages and put them in my own repsoitory. everything else comes from debian repos.

Yeah, don't you love the responses that say "I know absolutely nothing about this, here is my expert opinion on it!"?
