And more to it:
For install to several computers lets automaticly make scripts for
mirroring _choosed_ packages. Then mirror it and then install from
this local mirror to any amount of computers.

BTW, somebody made scripts/programs for partial mirroring based on
packages selecting?
This will be _very_ helpfull for organizations where it's need to
periodically upgrade fixed set of the packages on many computers.
Main task is a program for such selecting with dependency
checking.
May be there is an apt program that can generate such lists?
