apt-proxy works well.  You run apt-proxy on one machine, and point at
it in /etc/apt/sources.list from the others (including from the
machine running apt-proxy).  It caches the debs for you in
/var/cache/apt-proxy/archive.  You don't copy debs around yourself:
let each machine fetch them from apt-proxy over your local network.
