I should have mentioned that anything that uses apt for installation,
like apt-get or aptitude or synaptic or even the "software centre"
downloads the debs into /var/cache/apt/archives. So all you need do to
keep a copy of a package deb is to make a dir to hold your stuff e.g.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/backup

and then copy the file(s) in e.g.

sudo cp /var/cache/apt/archives/adobe-flash*11.1.102.63*.deb
/usr/local/backup

to install one or more .deb or you do e.g.

sudo dpkg -i /usr/local/backup/adobe-flash*11.1.102.63*.deb

Easy as that. The point about only having files in /usr that came from a
.deb cannot be stressed enough. If you manually copy stuff in, it will
break something sooner or later. It is an absolute CERTAINTY.
