Basically, it gives you a much shorter list than if you simply list all ins= talled packages, without changing the result if you ask the package manager= on a different, freshly-installed box to install =93just=94 those on the s= horter list. DPKG-based OSes must maintain a similar list, because they are able to dete= ct when an automatically-installed package is no longer needed as a result = of removing the last explicitly-installed package that depended on it.
