Using /var/cache/apt

A friend is moving his Ubuntu install from a usb stick to a dedicated
partition on his hard drive. He wants to avoiding downloading all of
the updates into the new installation.

How to reuse the packages in /var/archives/apt?

He will naturally be making a backup copy of /var as well as /home
before starting off.

Thanks,
