Perhaps:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/AptOff
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository
will work for you?

For a single package, why not just look at the package dependency
requirements and download the dependencies independently? Example:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/net/apt-mirror
- check to see if you have/need:
  adduser
  perl
  perl-modules
  wget
Don't have perl-modules? Click on that dependency and download:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/perl-modules
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/perl-modules/download
and that is the .deb for perl-modules -
<http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl-modules_5.10.0-24ubuntu4_all.deb>
