That is a really neat idea! Do you happen to have the source code
for that available somewhere that the rest of us might try it out
too?

I've built an apt-offline processor, which is used to install or
upgrade Debian/ubuntu systems.
On the Internet-connected box, I have an exec:
apt-offline: ["/usr/local/bin/apt-offline-proc"]
The script can just run apt-offline get $INPUTFILE --bundle
$OUTPUTFILE
then use nncp-file to send the OUTPUTFILE to $NNCP_SENDER
I also have scripts for receiving zfs or dar backups, and for
distributed syncing of git repos. See
https://changelog.complete.org/archives/tag/nncp for details.
I also run Usenet over NNCP, and offer NNCP Usenet feeds to
interested people.

It's all good, and welcome.
