How install a package/program with all the dependencies tree to an offline devices ?

Hi,

I have an air gaped[^1] device. ( Devuan )

How do you manage to install packages/software on off-line[^1] device ?

I've heard of apt-offline but it seem to bug and I don't know if it's still maintained (last release two years ago)

of course I've tried manually but the dependencies relations are too crazy to do that fully manually

Dependence tree (not complete even) to install for example `apt-offline`

raw

│   └── python-apt-common_2.2.1_all.deb
├── python3-apt_2.2.1_amd64.deb
└── python3-debianbts_3.1.0_all.deb

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
