huh, what do you mean?

If you do an apt-get (dist-)upgrade or similar, the packages will be
downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives. Then the installation uses the
packages from that directory.

However, before the packages are downloaded, apt first checks if the most
recent package is not already downloaded. So if you install a package,
uninstall it and reinstall it, it will take the local archive.
