You could probably write a script to extract that info from the book
sources, or from an ALFS profile. From a list of packages and
dependencies, apply an algorithm something like the following to convert
it to a flat list (this is what my build scripts do):

1. Scan your unsorted list until you find something with no
dependencies.
2. Add it to the end of sorted list.
3. Remove it as a dependency from everything in the unsorted list
4. Repeat until unsorted list is empty.
