downloading packages with another tool



hi guys,
i'm developing an apt-based package manager and i'm planning to
substitute apt's downloading functionality with my own code. if i
understand everything right i can invoke apt-get with --print-uris,
download files pointed to by issued uris and pass them to dpkg. is it
safe to do so? is it possible to download packages, place them
into /var/cache/apt/archives/ and let apt perform actual installation?

regards,
jay
