Don't forget that some packages that were installed by the OS installer
are going to be updated with security updates. You may not want to
include those.

What you might actually want is to query all the packages that are
installed but not in the dependency closure set of {ubuntu-desktop,
ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal}. This might take a few line program,
but I don't think it would be too tricky.
