Divert that output to a file

After you install fresh, do the same
dpkg -l >> mynewdebs.txt
I'd then use some program to get the items that are in mydebs.txt that are not in mynewdebs.txt.
Use sort and diff:
sort mydebs.txt > mydebs_ordered.txt sort mynewdebs.txt > mynewdebs_ordered.txt diff mydebs_ordered.txt mynewdebs_ordered.txt > non-stock_debs.txt
You can get the same results with less typing with:
cat mydebs.txt mynewdebs.txt | sort | uniq -u > non-stock_debs.txt
