That depends a lot on what you mean by sync. If you simply mean one-way "I
want the production box to have the same packages as the development box",
you could do, from the development box
dpkg --get-selections | ssh productionbox "dpkg --get-selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade"
Note that this does not necessarily mean you'll have the same versions of
those packages installed.
