I'm looking at changing to a new comp with a new install but I want all the same software that I have on my current system and I was wondering if there was an easy way to backup and re-setup the added repositories so that I don't need to reapply them one by one. If I copy the sources list across will I need to manually reinstall keys etc? Whats the easiest quickest way? Suggestions please?

I'd copy the whole system across but I'm also changing from 32bit to 64bit in the process so it need to be a fresh install. Unless it's possible to somehow uninstall the 32bit components and install the 64bit. Which I highly doubt. Is it?
