 From a user point of view those are all implementation details. 
Packages should *really* be downloaded by default from a user PoV.

BTW, what apt setting is this?
AFAIK you can easily call apt to automatically download those packages.

For example, I've got "apt-get -qq update && apt-get -dqq dist-upgrade 
&& apt-get -sqq dist-upgrade" in crontab.
