> I wish there was a straightforward way to take the diff I suppose booting the live image and dumping packages to a file, then diffing that might be one approach? (dpkg --get-selections) You might also want to archive all of /etc, and compare - but that might introduce too much noise.

Would you expect the list of packages on the live image to be the same as a new install (sans drivers)?

  Yes, mostly. Or put another way - the live system should be functional and show off the best parts of the "spin" so core packages should be similar.
