Can anybody tell me when I might want to use aptitude-{create,run}-

Is it, for example, useful for cloning a machine configuration
following a re-install from scratch?
Thanks!

#!/bin/bash
datetag=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_-_%H:%M:%S)
dpkg --get-selections > /root/dpkglist-$datetag.txt
On second machine:
## dpkg --set-selections < /root/dpkglist-$datetag.txt
## apt-get dselect-upgrade
should do the cloning job.
That's interesting, and even useful. Thanks! It's something I didn't
know and have often wondered about.
Nevertheless, it still doesn't answer the first question: What useful
thing is done by aptitude-create-state-bundle ?
Enjoy!
