That's not really what I'm looking for.  What I want is not the list of
.deb's, but the .debs themselves.  What I'm trying to do is to create a ZIP
disk which holds everything I need to replicate my setup.  If I do the
above, I still need to get the .debs when I'm at the second machine, which
may or may not have a network connection or a CDROM.
