Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synaptic

I were spending some time on starting organizing which packages i normally use 
to
install when reinstall Ubuntu, or install on a new computer - packages i always
enjoy on get installed, which would be time saving if i could import them from
Synaptic instead of marking to install one by one.

This would illustrate better the Synaptic feature suggestion i thing is deeply
needed and welcome:

This would be a list created by hand, which we choose the packages in a more 
organized way, and Synaptic would be able to import it and install all them

. http://nitrofurano.linuxkafe.com/linux/synapticimportpackages_exported.txt
. http://nitrofurano.linuxkafe.com/linux/synapticimportpackages_simple.txt
One of these could be the default installed packages list exported from Synaptic
(as my suggestion)

The idea is, when we import one of these txt list files, Synaptic would ask for
the CDs and/or the ftp mirrors for installed all of these packages, just like
we marked all them to get installed.

You all can imagine how useful can it be in a room of offline computers getting
installed packages synchronized without any further effort, or getting a easy
reply from a friend living in the other side of the world when we ask him/her
which packages got installed.
