I've always found apt-zip quite useful, it should be possible to use it with
you're laptop too: suppose you have some directory on your laptop mounted
via nfs then you might try
apt-zip-list --skip-mount -m /mnt/laptop -a dist-upgrade -o tar=tar
then fetch the packages with the newly created script and back at home do an
apt-zip-inst --skip-mount -m /mnt/laptop -a dist-upgrade
and your dist-upgrade should be finished :-)
you could do the same with single packages, via
apt-zip-list --skip-mount -m /mnt/zip -p {all the packages you want :-)}
the rest should be as described above.
cheers,
