You're misunderstanding the meaning of the "download" option. It tells setup to
download packages for later install. It doesn't simply download all packages
that you've specified on the command line. In particular, it won't download
packages that it thinks don't need to be installed.
I suggested using the --root option in order to trick setup into thinking that
you're doing a new install.
