I don't know how you found it, but that will come in handy soon enough. I have been reorganizing my files, removing duplicates, and am about to get another external hard drive ... so I hope to be able to create that local repository for myself in the near future. It used to be, aptoncd would do something like that; but for the past few releases (maybe after Jessie, I think?) it has been removed from the Debian/Devuan repositories. It would be nice if developers got together somewhere and brought back aptoncd, a fork of it, or another tool that does more or less the same thing.
