Squeeze dpkg --get-selections usable in any way in Wheezy?

[Lisi Reisz <lisi.reisz@gmail.com>]

I have had another failed upgrade.  Before I tried to upgrade, I ran 
dpkg --get-selections and saved the result in a file.

I am obviously going to have to install Wheezy from scratch.  Is there 
any way I can make use of Squeeze's package list to give the owner of 
the box the same applications/packages as she had in Squeeze, mutatis 
mutandis?

TIA
