Well, my instinct (as a gentoo bod) would inevitably be "connect via USB and tether to mobile network" although there are often several reasons this can be difficult (RNDIS drivers not compiled into kernel is a particular nasty!).

However, https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/2014/01/30/how-to-manage-packages-on-an-off-line-debian-system/ and https://packages.debian.org/jessie/apt-offline shows that Debian seems to have its own system for doing this, and may well be easier/cheaper depending on your options.

HTH, BR,
