I want to setup another computer (and later reinstall the current one) with the
same package list currently installed.

Is this possible to do with aptitude (I know that it is possible to some
extent with dpkg but that looses the automatically installed flag).


Use `dpkg --get-selections >somefile.txt` on the configured machine.
Then do `dpkg --set-selections <somefile.txt` on the target. Obviously,
you need to get somefile.txt to the target.


Also, then do an 'apt-get dselect-upgrade'
