as I explained in the original mail, -d does not stop dependency checking,
so if you just want to download one package, irrespective of dependencies
(in this case because I want a particualar arm package for cross-compiling)
then it doesn't help. (aptitude download does do what I want, but there
seems to be no way to point it at an apt.conf file specifying all the
non-standard directories I want it to use).
