If I generate a "Package Download Script" in Snyaptic can it be rn from a terminal window instead of Synaptic?

What Nils said.

I see no reason for all the lines.

I'd do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-headers-generic
linux-image-generic jockey-kde kde-full cinnamon vlc hplip thunderbird
libreoffice sound-juicer mypaint alien-arena openarena aptoncd prboom
deja-dup banshee backintime-kde clementine

Much shorter and you'll get progress reports for a single apt-get
install operation.

"&&" is meaningless in a script.
