You don't. The 'update' operation is not designed to do that.

None.

From what I guess, you actually just want to:

# apt-get update
# apt-get -d upgrade

This stores all upgradeable package files in /var/cache/apt/archives,
where apt will find them automatically if you later plan to install
them.
