In the spirit of "don't re-invent the wheel" this is what I use:
#!/bin/sh
# Written by Larry Holish, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# As customized by Gary Turner for his own use
# Script that writes current list of packages installed
# from /var/lib/dpkg/available to pkgs_woody.current.
# Keeps a history of changes between package versions
# in woody_history.txt.
LISTDIR=/home/gt/debian # match to your path to storage
# files
cd $LISTDIR
if [ -f 'woody_history.txt.gz' ]; then
gunzip woody_history.txt.gz
fi
if [ -f 'pkgs_woody.current' ]; then
mv pkgs_woody.current pkgs_woody.last
fi
COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l | grep "^i" | cut -b 5- > pkgs_woody.current
diff -C 0 pkgs_woody.last pkgs_woody.current >> woody_history.txt
gzip woody_history.txt
rm -f pkgs_woody.last
