You can't be sure, but you can probably get a fairly good idea from looking for the packages that aren't on the release-critical bugs list posted regularly to debian-devel-announce (see the mailing list archives at www.debian.org). We're now at the stage in the freeze where packages are only allowed to change for potato if they have release-critical bugs that need fixing, though core packages like libc6 and dpkg and debconf and the like may well be exceptions to this. I'd say, then, that if you made a list of all packages with priority Standard or lower and excluded those with RC bugs you'd get quite an accurate list. >The reason is that I plan to prepare my own CDs next time, so I >thought could be a good idea to start collecting packages so that when I >run the rsync it can get most from my hard disk storage.
