Hello,
For most binary image types, live helper produces a packages.txt (in the
image) and binary.packages (outside of the image) that is just the output of
"dpkg -l" ran within the target. Unfortunately, the output from "dpkg -l"
isn't the easiest to machine parse which is why I've created a patch to have
the output of "dpkg-query -W" which format, by default, is
"${Package}\t${Version}\n".
Cheers,
