Finding old versions

[Kjetil Kjernsmo <kjetil@kjernsmo.net>]

Hi all!

I'm going to make a clean install of Sarge on my new hard drive, and the 
idea was to use dpkg --get-selections to get what I had on the old. 

However, I bet I have lots of woody-era, even potato perhaps, software 
on that old disk, and I only know how I can get rid of libraries that 
nothing depends on (deborphan/orphaner). Presumably, I don't need 
gcc-2.95 or gcc-3.0 anymore, for example.

Is there any way I can list this kind of old packages?

Cheers

Kjetil
