For me, a list that includes dependencies is useless. I don't care about dependencies, that is the package manager's problem. I only care about the software I asked the computer to install. If I used a complete list and selected all of the packages, I might have a lot of crap installed that I don't need.
I know from reading an other thread someone linked (I think it was magic
banana) that synaptic can export a list of installed packages. Does it only
pick "selected" packages, or does it include all of the dependencies. Is it
possible to only get the selected ones if the second case is true?
