I found this trick, it has been out for a while, it is just new to me:

To get a list of all currently installed packages:

  dpkg --get-selections > installed-software

If you want to re-install it, do this:

  dpkg --set-selections < installed-software

followed by

  dselect

Just thought someone else might be interested too...
