The 'TODO' meant that I hadn't finished figuring out the command :P
Some `packages.el' files specify more than one package to be downloaded
from MELPA. For example, in layers/+lang/elm/package.el:
(setq elm-packages
'(
company
elm-mode
flycheck
flycheck-elm
popwin
smartparens
))
I'd started writing lots of regexps to get the list of packages out but
I think it might be better just to invoke Emacs to, you know, parse the
lisp..

I'm not sure whether this is a viable alternative to my approach or not
-- I don't think Spacemacs downloads all the packages on a first run. I
think that some layers are considered 'optional'. If there was some way
to know that we had activated every single layer, and we did it in a
clean sid chroot, it would give the correct list.
We could make a team decision to package spacemacs once all the
compulsory dependencies are packaged, or we could wait until we have the
packages that every single layer requires.
