In some cases it is plain easy: "./configure && make && make install",
but many packages needs more work and I see no way to automatize it
completely.

I have one machine A without internet connection. To be able to install
any package from the archive, I use apt-mirror to get an complete
archive mirror on machine B that has internet connection. Then I carry
the directory on a 2.5" hard drive to machine A. machine A is configured
(/etc/apt/sources.list) to get the archive from the local directory
instead from the internet.

Hey karthikeyan, 

Your going to have to grab the source code from launchpad package by
package[0]. Some of them arent included in ubuntu but are available in
the repository you'll have to sort out which ones you need also there
are language packs there too so its a bit crazy if you want to download
all of them. There is no one download link for you you'll have to get it
yourself.
