I include dpkg --get-selections in my nightly backup scripts. The idea behind my backup scheme is that I only have to backup stuff that I've brought to the system outside of what is available in a package. I can do a standard install, suck in my package list, restore my /etc, /home, /opt, and select /var dirs and be back in action fairly quickly. All the while, I can put more system backups on a single volume and still be able to get right back to where I was just before disaster struck my system down.
