You can use apt-mirror to make a local mirror of all the apt packages. I've done this a few times to download all the ubuntu repository to a harddrive when I was traveling to machines that didn't have good internet access.

Apt-Mirror is fantastic for creating a local package repo. I did one for the Testing and Stable distributions back-in-the-day of Debian 3.

Also, consider the jigdo-lite package. It can be used to produce up-to-date ISOs from your local repo. I would run apt-mirror every night with a cron job. Then I would have jigdo generate ISO's at the end of a week, and place them in my local web-server. This mattered more for Testing than it did for stable.

Additionally, my package repo was also configured as a netboot server. Any of my local machines that could netboot, could be booted into the Debian installer over the network.

Consider the possibilities.

I haven't done this a very long time.
