There sure is. On the first machine, run 'dpkg --get-selections > file'.
Then transfer the file to the other machine and do 'dpkg --set-selections
file'. When you run dselect and select [I]nstall from the menu, all the
selected packages will be installed. I suspect that you can use something
like 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or something and avoid dselect, but I'm not
sure.
