I'm not sure where you'd go to back up the list of installed packages so that you could automagically restore them, though.
I think that dpkg --get-selections > installedpackages.bkup should do it, then you should be able to do a dpkg --set-selections < installedpackages.bkup i tried this once but I am not sure exactly if it worked or not, I was still figuring out dpkg.
