i've set up a archive for those too.

sure, i could do that, usually i build up my
statements a bit at a time to make sure each step
works before adding the next chunk. this isn't a
script run that often i wouldn't worry about
optimizing it.
the last bug i had to figure out was that some debs
are treated differently in their version names as
they translate to the filename stored in the pool
(console-data, libreoffice and several others).
i'm not sure why or where the difference exists but it
was 42 debs (could it be the ghost of Douglas Adams
having a bit of a prank? :) ). i added a check for
the alternate version.
there may be other bugs yet to find, but for my
own apt archive of 2375 installed packages selecting
from the backed up archive of 10980 debs it now is
complete (my wheezy archive was at 18000+ debs).
the current script version now looks like:
=====
#!/bin/sh
#
#
# run as root
#
# this script attempts to restore the debs to
# /var/cache/apt/archives for all of the packages
# you currently have installed from a local archive
# (see localarch).
#
# if you have obsolete, local or unofficial debs from
# other sources they can be kept in another place as a
# backup and also copied by this script (see deblocal).
#
# when finished if there is a downloadlist file in the
# current directory those were the debs missing from
# the local archive (or something strange is going on
# with the version numbers).
# your local archive
#
localarch="/archives/debian"
# for local, obsolete or unofficial debs that are
# still used apt-cache show will not have a filename.
#
deblocal="$localarch/local/current"
# the archive of debs downloaded
#
debarch="$localarch/jessie"
# the apt archive
#
dest="/var/cache/apt/archives"
# copy the local, obsolete or unofficial debs
#
cp --preserve=all $deblocal/*.deb $dest
# we will generate a list of wget statements to fill in the gaps
#
rm -f downloadlist 2>&1 /dev/null
