Wouldn't a apt-get update take less time than a copy of the cache would? :P – Dan Johansen Aug 13 '14 at 11:30

Simply put, you could copy the content of /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb into the other /var/cache/apt/archives/ as root...
But if this is anything but a one-off, I would definitely suggest one of the various caching server options that are out there so you only ever have to download these updates once:
