With a few notable exceptions for me it's mostly enough to replicate 
only the set of manually installed packages.

Of course, on such occasions I do use the opportunity to review what 
packages I still need, which usually takes more time than the actual 
installation :D

Eventually I intend to have that information in a configuration 
management system (e.g. ansible), so that getting a new system installed 
and fully configured is mostly automated.

Kind regards,
Andrei
