It would be nice to do this from dselect, but for the moment you can
quit dselect, and use:
dpkg --get-selections
to get the list of selected packages, and
dpkg --set-selections to set them.
dpkg --help mentions these two.
I've not actually used these though.
dpkg and dselect could do with better man pages, I agree.
There is a project "Deity" to produce a dselect replacement, but I'm
not sure how near to release they are.
