The only thing I can think of which might work (though others may have 
more knowledge than I do) is when you've moved the debs to the archive, run:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

which will install all the debs.  I'm not sure that would work...  if 
there were dependency problems (old debs?) in there, it might bomb out 
and leave you in a more difficult state than you're in now.  :@(

Anyone else got any suggestions?
