Wrong list.

The version is also monotone rising but that is irelevant. The packages filename is also unqiue. So you really don't need a revision or timestamp. I think what you are looking for is apt-zip. Or at least apt-zip should be a good start. You should not rely on the MTIME of files. Use the Packages file to compare what you non-networks system has with what it should have and fetch the difference.
