It turns out Synaptic can do this. Simply tag the programs you want to
install or mark upgrades and then go to file --> generate package
download script. It will then prompt you for a location where to save
the script. You can then take that to another (net connected) machine
and download the necessary pages there.

Neat.

Cheers,
Al.
