 Yeah, like where they knock out the alcohol dehydrogenase gene and get all
 the flies absolutely bladdered :-))

Can I assume that these genes were removed to donate to London.pm members?

 is there an easy way of getting a list of all the packages which are  
 currently installed?  I dislike dselect intensely, and the docs for   
 dpkg et al don't say anything useful.
 
 dpkg -l | grep '^ii'

  dpkg -l | grep '^.i'

is better.  The second char is the current state; the first is the
intended state.  Usually the intended state for installed packages is to
stay installed, but they could be held (status 'hi') to lock them at a
particular version.
