I think you should give a look to "apt-mirror".
https://apt-mirror.github.io/
With it, during "phase 1" (aka: when you are preparing "stuff" and are
on-line), you can easily get a _FULL_ mirror of debian repository. Even if
they are several GigaBytes... it will be _VERY_ easy to store all of them
somewhere (on a local disk; on an external drive; on a usb-key or whatever).
Then, in "phase 2", when you'll be "off-line", you can easily connect such
"folder" somewhere (on a linux box; maybe the very first installed from
scratch) and share it via HTTP so to.... have a _FULL_ debian repository
available for the _WHOLE_ laboratory (as soon as you'll properly add it to
the source.list of the PCs)!
So you DON'T even have to care about choosing "ex-ante" what packages you
need... but you can (comfortably) choose what you need... _ALWAYS_ :-)
...and should you ever get an internet connection, you can simply "update"
the mirror (again, with apt-mirror) once and... you'll have all the
updates for the _WHOLE_ laboratory!
Hope this help :-)
Cheers,
DV
