I'm still conviced that what is needed is a simple way to export a 
complete installed list from any working machine along with repo and 
version information that the machine repeating the install can use or 
ignore.  That way there is no guesswork in the installer and it works 
the same for a spin providing some extra stuff in  an additional repo 
and a local shop with local packages in a local repo.
