List all packages installed by user


... into an installable format.


Basically, what I want to do is list all of the packages I manually installed (not the dependancies) using apt-get or aptitude, into a format so that I can just paste it into apt-get like so:

apt-get install package1 package2 package3 ... package 50

if this is possible, thanks in advance

P.S. I know you can do dpkg -l, but that is all of the packages, and not in readable format

dpkg --get-selections > pkg.list
dpkg --set-selections < pkg.list
