I used to run apt-get through WWWOFFLE, but then thought that is a big
waste.

OK, thanks anyway. I'm wishing piuparts could be enhanced one day
with:

--local: don't go online at all, and instead attempt to get everything
  we need from /var/cache/apt/archives and /var/lib/apt/lists. Can be
  combined with --dry-run to see if everything we need is already in
  place. Also one can cache the result for faster startup a second
  time with ...

OK, bye.
