that didn't work, dpkg would still demand dependencies, so I decided
to change the strategy to:
1) using apt-get install ...
2) save the install log into a file (apt-get install reports to you
the order of installation) from which you can then created a dpkg
based script
3) move all packages from /var/cache/ ... to wherever is needed.

Hmm! ... and the apt-zip functionality doesn't exist anymore in the
same way that it rains and thunders when the Gods decide? When a
package is removed or discontinued, is there a formal explanation as
to why?
I don't know why and I decided to change my approach, but I tried to use the:
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/noble/en/man8/apt-get.8.html
-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act
functionality, but it didn't work:
"E: Command line option --dry-run is not understood in combination
with the other options"
then I found confusing explanations about users being confused:

Greg, quite honestly, I'd wish it would just be my "paranoid
fantasy", but, unfortunately, I will have disappoint you, with all the
streams of data "they" are collecting from everyone of us, "they" are
keeping a data Doppelgänger of everyone of us.
