Or consider using apt-zip-* (the apt-zip package). I have not actually used it, but apparently you run apt-zip-list on your offline machine to generate a script that runs on the online machine. This script downloads the necessary packages which you bring home on a USB stick (or a ZIP disk, hence the name). You then run apt-zip-inst on the offline machine to install the packages; it uses a script that was generated when you first ran apt-zip-list.

Ok, thanks! apt-zip doesn't seem to let me use apt-get commands like build-dep, but the --print-uris option for apt-get works for what I need.
