Personally, for this, I would have used "apt-zip", but it seems that 
that is no longer updated. If you're willing to give it a go, grab the 
.deb file from https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/apt-zip and install it 
with "dpkg -i /path/to/apt-zip*.deb". Documentation for it is in the 
manpage but, essentially, running "apt-zip-list -m /mnt/usb -p conman" 
should ask apt which packages are needed to install conman on your 
system and write a script to /mnt/usb which will wget them. The idea, 
then, is that you take the USB stick to an internet-connected PC and run 
the script (it's possible to run it from Cygwin or Bash For Windows if 
required). The script downloads the packages to the USB and, finally, 
you take the USB stick back to your disconnected PC and run 
"apt-zip-inst -m /mnt/usb" and those packages get installed.
