[Piuparts-devel] Bug#512458: Bug#512458: Add offline instructions

No no no. There are not enough instructions for the user to proceed.

Here is what the user's /etc/apt/sources.list looks like:
deb http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia unstable main
deb http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main

And the user recently did a apt-get update, so /var/lib/apt/lists is
fully up to date.
$ ls /var/lib/apt/lists|wc -l
24

The user is now offline, and wants to do
# piuparts -m ... --bindmount= ... bla.deb
and cannot figure out what to use, to make sure all 24 files will be
accessible to piuparts if needed, etc.

Another question is if he uses --bindmount=/var/lib/apt/lists, will he
risk injuring any of those files?
