The easy way to do it is to use dpkg --get-selections to create a text file package list, and dpkg --set-selections to set it, before doing an appropriate apt/dpkg command to update to the selected list (apt-get dselect-upgrade?). Cool name, though. Don't change that, whatever else you may end up changing. It'd be good to be able to create something like a commented version of the output from dpkg --get-selections so that you could say why you've purged lynx and added w3m-ssl, for example.
