Hi,
you can try this option.
1. copy all the iso images of the Debian CDs to your harddisk.
2. mount all the images using loop option in mount

3. configure your apt-config to point to the directories of the each cd.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html (see
Sectoin 2.4)
4. then you can use apt-get to install application.
5. the after getting everything write automation script to do all the above
in bash :)
Though it takes too much of disk space, thats the better way i found to
avoid dependency problem especially when you dont have internet.
Bye,
Krishna.
