I used this script as root user to copy the debs:

#! /bin/bash

rm /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo/*
mv ./*.deb /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo
mv ./*.dsc /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo
mv ./*.changes /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo
cd /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

Note: The folder /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo/ must exist prior to running
that script

And this entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_mythtv_repo.list :

# Local build of mythtv, in /usr/share/my_mythtv_repo
# See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal
deb [trusted=yes] file:/usr/share/my_mythtv_repo ./

But I have not tested it on bookworm.
