You would probably be better off using the find_links option in your setup(), to indicate additional URLs where packages can be found. e.g. find_links=['http://pypi.example.com/somepackage', 'http://pypi.example.com/otherpackage']. This will tell easy_install (or other packaging tools) to check these pages in addition to the standard package-index pages, when seeking out your dependencies.
