Just wanted to add one more thing to this post that may help others trying to
do the same thing. I ran man apt-move which led me to a couple of scripts that
worked great for generating the packages.gz files necessary to make apt-getable
cd-roms. (in case the program you want to backup and make apt-getable on CD
isn't a native .deb or you made a src package into a deb yourself)
The scripts are dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansources. I believe they are
part of the dpkg-dev package.
