Very nice.  For those of you reading that are too lazy to figure out what this is:

Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media

These scripts simplify the process of using dselect and apt on a non-networked 
Debian box, using removable media like ZIP floppies. One generates a `fetch' 
script (supporting backends such as wget and lftp, in a modular, extensible way) 
to be run on a host with better connectivity, check space constraints of your 
removable media, and then install the package on your Debian box.

Thanks again.
