Possible strange question about apt/apt-get

[Robert Heller]

I have what is probably a "strange" question about apt-get (or maybe apt).

I am currently on a dialup connection, so doing a "normal" 
"apt-get install <something>" is sometimes not realistic, at least for some of 
my machines, since the download would take hours and hours at dialup speeds.  
What I would like to do is create a script using wget to run on my laptop 
(running CentOS 6 on an x86_64 processor) to download the batch of .deb files 
needed for one of my little Debian-flavored machines (in partitular one 
running armbian aarch64).  I tried a *simple* script that tries to get the 
urls by scanning the files in /var/lib/apt/lists, but it is not working -- 
some of the packages are in more than one list and I don't know apt-get's 
"magic" to figure out which host is the right one.
