I frequently use the -d option with, say, 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'apt-get install'. It can give you the opportunity to look at changelog.Debian or any other part of a package before installing it. To install a single package or group of packages simply use apt-get without -d and it will get what is needed from /var/cache/apt/archives/. However, if you have done an update of the package list in the meantime any newer versions of the packages will be downloaded from your usual sources and installed immediately.
