Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

There should be a possibility to download & save a package in a non-geek way. Not every person likes to reinstall a package and to go /var/cache/apt/packages and then search through zillions of old and new *.debs to find the correct one.

Reasoning:
Sometimes there is a computer which can't connect to internet to update/install wireless drivers.
