Just for fun, I'm wondering if I can grab a copy of the Lucid packages that my laptop's downloading and dump them into a directory on the desktop computer, then upgrade the desktop in a way it makes use of the packages it wants and that I have to hand already.
Is that possible?

You can, with AptOnCD.
sudo apt-get install aptoncd

I would also recommend AptonCD. :grin:
Another way you can do it is in Synaptic, mark the packages that you want to install/upgrade then go to File >> Generate package download script. There is a guide here:

There are also various other ways you can do it using apt on the command line, see here for more details:
