The simplest new method for offline software(deb.s) installation under ubuntu

[Alexander Wauck]

Found this today: http://wubdepends.sourceforge.net

It downloads any package in the repositories along with all packages
needed to satisfy dependencies (i.e. the same packages apt-get/aptitude
would install).  It also has a nice graphical interface, and you can
select the particular distribution and architecture.
