Indeed it does. It's a great idea to manage debs downloaded.
That means that it also saves me from typing apt-get
autoclean. :-)
I usually build a partial local mirror and then burn copies on
CDs so that I can give them to friends (with some extras like
StarOffice and Helix Gnome).

I usually use
# apt-get -d install <package>
It only downloads the packages and then I use apt-move to move
them to my local mirror.
Hope this helps, Roger...
