On one master machine use "dpkg --get-selections > selections". Then
on the other machines do "dpkg --set-selections < selections". That way
the 2nd machine has the same packages selected as the "master".
Then use apt to upgrade the machines:
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
That should be all ..
