The difference between that and plain 'dpkg --get-selections' is that
yours lists both what you've installed and what you haven't installed,
while Nate's lists only what you've installed. If you only want to
arrange for some extra packages to be on a system, then you want plain
'dpkg --get-selections'; if you want to completely replace a system's
package list then you want yours.
