Just wanted to say thanks for your good advice and report on what I did. Using an APT sandbox made things pretty simple. I can directly use the apt-get commands 'source' and 'download' after setting up the temporary source list. With the --simulate option for the initial apt-get update, the script works for non-root users as well. And as far as I can tell, I don't need the closing update, because the system-wide source list is not changed.
