try
$ apt-cache show $(dpkg --get-selections |cut -f1) > package-desc.lst
The file will have all the packages install on your system along with their description
After your remove packages also try
# apt-get autoremove
to remove all packages not required on the system due to the dependencies removed from the system.
THANKS and a very happy 2011
