You're misunderstanding the meaning of the "download" option.  It tells setup to 
download packages for later install.  It doesn't simply download all packages 
that you've specified on the command line.  In particular, it won't download 
packages that it thinks don't need to be installed.

I suggested using the --root option in order to trick setup into thinking that 
you're doing a new install.
