I recomend apt-move. Have both your local server and the debian
servers in sources.list. After upgrading each machine, copy
/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to the local server and run apt-move to
merge into your local debian archive. This way you only download the
packages you use, and only once for each package from the debian
servers.
