Swapping archives between similar debian PC?

[dfp10@logical.net]

I have been trying to get the debian version of Ubuntu APTonCD to work  
on Debian 386 but with mixed results. I want to give the packages from  
my fast work internet connected PC to my slow connected home PC.
Would it not be simpler to delete the /var/cache/apt/archives/ files  
and replace it with the same from the work machine?
On first try it seems to work but I cannot be sure the resolving of  
dependedcies is working fully,
Anybody have experience with this?
Thanks
