When I do upgrades, I save the list of "extra" installed packages (looking at /overlay/upper/usr/lib/opkg/info/*.control). Maybe we could save this "list of extra packages" when the configuration is saved (like before the upgrade) somewhere. It's useful and very "cheap".
When this "list" is present (like after a conf restore or system upgrade), we could provide an easy script to reinstall them and also luci could offer to reinstall them (or remove the list). Something like: >>> Your previous system state included extra packages. What would you like to do? [ignore and remove the list] [install all listed packages] * iftop [install] * ifperf [install] * ip (already installed) <<< My 2 cents.
