It should be possible to write a script that would look in the download 
directory and create a corresponding (temporary) /etc/setup/stalled.db 
so that setup's operation is dependent on what's in the download 
directory rather than what's installed on a given machine.

Or, you could just work with the system as it is by installing all 
packages you want to mirror on your download machine and always doing 
the download/update from that machine; thus, the local machine's 
packages will be the same as the local directory's packages.
