I actually couldn't understand from your post what you want to do? You want to install all these packages on the new install? Or you want to back them up for future installs?

Here's what you were looking for, for future reference.
To get the list of installed packages:


dpkg --get-selections > installed-software

to install the list of packages:


dpkg --set-selections < installed-software
sudo dselect

For the next time:

The second output you posted looks the same as the output generated by exporting the list from Synaptic.

You can save the list via "File, Save Markings". Make sure you tick the "Save full state, not only markings" box.

You could have imported your list as is with Synaptic's "File, Read Markings" option.
