You can also copy them to a directory, cd to that directory and do
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages
and then add that directory to your apt.sources

deb file:/home/me/cache ./


You can put the directory o a cd and bring it to another machine.  You
get the advantage of using the packages on machines which may or may
not have the same versions of packages you have.  As more updates will
be made, it is a more elegant solution.
