I see no purpose, when you can do this at any time:
COLUMNS=180 dpkg -l | grep ^i | \
cut -c4-44 > installed.packages.`date +"%Y%M%d-%H%m"`
Since that's obviously a pain to write, put it in an alias.

Ron,
How would you revert your system to using only the packages mentioned in your
snapshot?
I'd take a current snapshot list and diff it with the previous list
to know what to get rid of. Then
apt-get install $(cat packages.to.delete.txt)
I'm sure that can be automated with a shell script.
aptitude might have a log file somewhere which list what you just
installed.
Your output looks identical to "dpkg--get-selections" without the word install on each line.
Yup.
