for any platform. The trick is that normally it defaults to your local
source mirror (from /etc/apt/sources.list), and you need it to do things

This is what I would have offered to do, had you not found a solution.
The jigdo-lite stuff is amazingly simple for being so delightfully
useful. I think it'll basically work on any platform that has the
dependancies met.
Cheers,
Steven
