What you need is an "approx" server. You can set up one on an old machine it the LAN, or even on a laptop which you pack back and forth. Set up takes all of five or ten minutes, and involves only one short configuration file on the approx server, and editing the "sources.list" file of each machine in the LAN to redirect requests to the approx server. "Pre-load" the server by doing a rather complete installation on one machine before you install the server in a remote installation; because if a file is missing from the approx cache, it must be downloaded. And for general updating of your Debian archives, the use of "jidgo" can help greatly when bandwidth is limited and connections are slow and unreliable.
