Looks great and seems to work except for the upgrade. On the second machine I do the "--set-selections" portion then the update and upgrade. It says nothing to upgrade, nothing to install. If I edit the file and remove the trailing install/deinstall then insert an "apt-get install " at the beginning of each line it does however install quite a few.
I was wrong. If you do an "apt-get dselect-upgrade" instead of an "apt-get upgrade" it should work as advertised.
(I see that this has already been mentioned in the thread. My apologies for the misdirection.)
