Do I get it right that you are doing it basically the same way but just
use 'aptitude install' instead of 'apt-get dselect-upgrade'?
If yes, this puzzles me even further since I did the same as you but
when I run 'aptitude install' aptitude still wants to remove hundreds of
packages.
BTW, you have earned yourself a few useless-use-of-cat-awards on your
page. :) Instead of
cat /tmp/packet_selection_on_orig | dpkg --set-selections
you can do
dpkg --set-selections < /tmp/packet_selection_on_orig
