Re: installing a few packages locally ...
There is already a local packages cache at: /var/cache/apt/archives/
If you previously run:
$ sudo apt-get --download-only install libav-tools
Asked packages and dependencies will be downloaded but not installed. I
use this behaviour to mount /var/cache/apt/archives externally and reuse
same files in several setups with walking USB storage.

masked enough at this list's archives. Mailing lists service
administrator should fix this.
