In that case, use apt-get instead of apt.  That way the downloaded .deb
files will not be removed afterward.  Then you can just sweep 'em up
from /var/cache/apt/archives, copy them to a stack of floppies, put
the floppies in a box, tie the box to a trained ferret, send the ferret
across town....

If the OP doesn't have a same-release, same-architecture connected
system to use for this purpose, then I don't have an answer.  I don't
deal with this stone-age crap any longer, and I am unable to express
how *happy* I am that this is the case.
