I would have used "dpkg --get-selections" and later piped that output
back into "dpkg --set-selections".
Its not quite as robust as jdub's, since it will (pretty much) only
give you a list of the *installed* packages. So long as you're
starting from a minimal base system the second time round, it'll do
the right thing - and its nice and easy.
