I recently installed debian on a laptop that did not have a network card or cd-rom drive. The way I got packages for it was to
apt-get -dy install package
...This downloads packages and their dependencies to the cache without installing them. Of course, this probably only worked for me because I was using another computer that I had just installed woody on to download everything, so it didn't already meet any of the dependency requirements. This is pretty inelegant, but worked for me.
