I need to learn new aspect of development: making apt-get installers. Because of it, I need to find out, how it works. I tried to search information about it, but 90% of it is apt-get man's.

For example: user prints sudo apt-get install package_name, and what? Is there installation script on server from sources.list file? If yes, how does it execute on client's computer?

I'll be glad to learn it with your help. May be it's stupid question, but I really can't find necessary information about this topic. Thank you!

Short answer is apt-get download package from server which sources.list includes and execute install script. Long answer is you can study the debian developer document from http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html.
