Indeed there is a way to do what you want, but you would have to abandon apt-get in favour of `dftp', which creates a directory hierarchy and all needed package files whenever you download packages with `dftp getnew' (preferably with the option `--ask'; you can then even get a description of new packages which aren't yet installed on your system).
