This is invaluable if you have a slow internet connection, or none at all available to the machine in question. Dselect is also very useful.

Meaning, if you clean your apt/aptitude cache there's nothing this program will do for you. Dselect is better. Kind of useless if you run a tight ship.

It won't ignore any user generated settings, or info. That can be a bad thing if you want to restore your own machine. However, I've found it helpful when sharing apps with other people. @ Danny, no it won’t. It won’t ignore any user generated settings, or info.
