OK, the man page should mention that one then uses plain "apt-get
install" with no packages listed, after a bunch of apt-get -d's

All that is necessary is to run the same command(s) omitting the -d option.
-d is not an action; it just modifies the normal install or upgrade process
to stop after downloading the packages. If you let it continue, the
packages will actually be installed.
Stop filing bug reports against apt in order to get technical support. This
is not the first time I have asked you to stop.
