Ubuntu/Debian Offline Repository Creation Gist

When I googled how to create my own offline repository of packages for use in an offline Ubuntu/Debian machine, the results were disheartening and the steps to be taken scattered all over the place.

The files within this gist will allow you to:

Download specific apt-get packages... with dependencies included!
Create a Packages.gz file so that you can add the repository folder you create to the target machine's /etc/apt/sources.list file.
