One use case is described in the blog article linked from my initial post:
"Let’s imagine the scenario: You have a Ubuntu machine at home that doesn’t come with any Internet connection (probably because home networking is /very/ expensive), and your office (or school) PC is connected to a broadband connection with blazingly fast speed. With apt-offline, you can now make use of the office or school PC (regardless it is running Linux or Windows) to download the necessary packages to your USB drive, and then bring it home to update your home computer."

Very nice idea!
My second reaction remains - use DVD with next version and do either online or offline update with it.
Although ability to download updates only for a given package list is nice, and this is not the first time I see it.
The problem is mostly routine software updates, after the system is installed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
