This is a great idea! Mind you, the only times I've had to do a
complete re-install with Debian were after a security scare where I
couldn't tell what may/maynot have been modified, or after a massive
hardware upgrade. But for the purposes of say, building a new server
that replicates an existing one I think this could be very handy.
Couldn't dpkg generate a list of existing installed packages? Then a
simple script could take that list and run dpkg -i on them.
