The idea is that I can use those backups when I need to /re-install the OS
from from scratch/ (like when the sd card dies).   There won't be any
already installed packages there.

Whut ?    My wish not to have to depend on "tha intarwebz" is considered
"making things difficult" ?  Really ?

Personally I do not like to depend on resources that are beyond my control.
Like those packages that could still be available when I need them again,
but most likely will have changed in the mean time (new versions and all
that), and as such could have become incompatible with what I find most
important, /my/ stuff.   Its as simple as that.

P.s.
Yes, I could just save the cache with all the .deb files and bulk re-install
them (can I do that?), but as long as I'm looking at it anyway I would like
to be able to do it in a less coarse way (giving me the possibility, when
re-installing, to leave out packages I am no longer using).
