you could use dpkg --get-selections on your target date (heck set up a
cron job to run it every day or every week or whatever and just
archive them) then to roll back use dpkg --set-selections followed
by apt-get dselect-upgrade. 

provided you set things up in advance to record your selections as you
go so that you have the data you need, you can easily roll back.
