OTOH, if one has enough space for that, just use apt-move and
it will construct a partial mirror of the files one uses,
eliminating duplicates/obsolete packages (which makes the use
of autoclean unnecessary).
If you use apt-move, then you can even burn a copy of your
partial mirror to a CD and have your "own subset" of Debian
handy.
That's the solution I use, but some extra space is needed for
the repository, of course.
