--set-selections should accept the output of --get-selections IIRC so
you could use that as a guide.

You can use this to get the same package set installed on multiple
machines, for example...

machine1# dpkg --get-selections > ~/selections
machine1# scp ~/selections machine2: # Ignoring the ssh as root...
machine2# dpkg --set-selections < ~/selections
machine2# dselect
