I think you want something like this...
On the source machine:
dpkg --get-selections "*" > selection-data
Copy the selection-data file to the target, then on that machine run:
dpkg --set-selections < selection-data
dselect update install remove
Minor details might be different, but that's the general idea. Debian already
provides for this.
