Thanks so much - this took a long time due to the large size of the game, but it worked almost perfectly for me on Xubuntu 22.04. Two small issues to point out:-
(i) The install command generated at the end of re-packaging the files as .debs will not (I think) work on Ubuntu because we must use dpkg -i for this, not apt
(ii) The same install command isn't correctly syntaxed for filepaths with spaces: it has " " around the whole command but also needs ' ' around any folder names with spaces in them. I think most Ubuntu users would find it easier to navigate to the same folder as the .deb files and use this command:-

sudo dpkg -i man-o-war-corsair-models-land_1.4.4-gog38991+20201103.6_all.deb man-o-war-corsair-models_1.4.4-gog38991+20201103.6_all.deb man-o-war-corsair-terrain-1_1.4.4-gog38991+20201103.6_all.deb man-o-war-corsair-terrain-2_1.4.4-gog38991+20201103.6_all.deb man-o-war-corsair-data_1.4.4-gog38991+20201103.6_all.deb man-o-war-corsair_1.4.4-gog38991+20201103.6_amd64.deb

These are already crazy long filenames and if a whole absolute filepath is prefixed onto each one just so our command can work from any folder, this makes the resulting command harder to debug. All we need to do is install 6 .deb files.

Well perhaps this is of use to someone else during the sale.

The ability to install local packages with apt has been added with apt 1.1, so I guess it should be available at least since Ubuntu 16.04. I removed the apt version check that used to display the dpkg method on older apt builds, because I do not think there are still a lot of systems out there using apt builds older than 1.1.

If you found a situation where it does not work, please share the command you ran and the output you got.

--- I did a quick try with an output directory including spaces, and it seems to generate a correct install command: Could you please copy here the unexpected result you got?
