Does some way exist using debian tools to get a list of package names

future it should be possible to install those packages with recommended
packages and rebuild the system using a compact packages list. The
closest I've been able to come to this was something like: # apt-cache
dumpavail | grep -i "package:" >packages.txt I suppose I could strip
package: off with sed but I'll have every package installed on the
system which is more than is needed.
From the aptitude manual: /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch02s03.html
!term
Matches packages which do not match the term term. For
instance, "!~b" selects packages that are not "broken".
[...]
~i
Matches packages which are currently installed.
~M
Matches packages which were automatically installed.
$ aptitude search '~i!~M'
