system rebuild preparation



Does some way exist using debian tools to get a list of package names stripped of version information where all package names in that list have no form of parent by recommended dependencies or suggested dependencies? If I can build and maintain that kind of list in the future it should be possible to install those packages with recommended packages and rebuild the system using a compact packages list. The closest I've been able to come to this was something like: # apt-cache dumpavail | grep -i "package:" >packages.txt I suppose I could strip package: off with sed but I'll have every package installed on the system which is more than is needed.
