apt-zip is cool, but you almost lost control of the process... :-P
Any way, you must have 2 identical machines, yep?
I read a great paper at http://www.debian-administration.org/?article=97, where
is show how to create a repository with apt-ftparchive on your completely
off-line debian box.
With his paper i just put my .debs on my off-line box, write some config files
and wait the Packages and Contents files grow up from .debs that apt-ftparchive
found.
That's all,
Andreyev
PS: be careful if you would use .deb from apt-cacher, why its packages have HTTP
header.
