I find it hard to prove to myself that dpkg --set-selections will behave just the same way - for example, I'm concerned that apt-get might feel entitled to discard one of the selections if its dependencies couldn't be resolved, rather than returning an error. It would be easier to see that the behaviour is identical if apt-get had an option to take package name input from a file. One package name per line, perhaps ignoring any lines starting with '#', would be fine.
