Shouldn't need all of that. Possibly. When building a single .deb  
which would deploy and run on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04 machines  
without any Internet connection, I did. At one point it was even a  
multi-arch .deb. One package bringing along everything needed for the  
32-bit executables to run on 64-bit machines which did not have the  
IA-32 (or whatever they call them these days) packages installed.
