How does one get rosdep to install an arbitrary debian package that looks like this...

foobar:
  Installed: 2.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.1-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.0.1-1 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

...and is _unreferenced_ by rosdistro ?

Is my only recourse to contribute a rosdep rule to a rosdistro fork?

I've got this working for me:

cat >/srv/foobar.yaml <<EOF
foobar:
  ubuntu: [foobar]
EOF

cat >/etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/00-foobar.list <<EOF
yaml file:///srv/foobar.yaml
EOF

Yes; you should contribute a rosdep rule. This typically only takes a few minutes to open a PR to the rosdistro repository and the maintainers generally respond within an hour or a few hours.

+1 for contributing a rule in general. If you don't want to do it publicly you can add arbitrary rosdep sources for your private deployments but that makes it harder to share than just listing it publicly. Contributing guide: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob...
