I have the same problem, but recently I found that "apt-zip" package in
potato. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be the solution: Just select
the packages you want in dselect, but instead of installing them directly,
create a script that fetches the packages. Now that script can be called
either from another machine or after a reboot to Linux.
