That seems to work based on dselect. I want to do an apt-get dist-upgrade,
which AFAIK dselect can't do...
Actually, another issue is that I won't have access to the ftp/http sources
on the non-networked machines - how will apt on those machines "know" what
it should do - do I need to copy some other parts of the /var/.../apt stuff?
