You probably don't care about all packages that have been installed as dependencies or come in a standard system anyways. Here's a way to list the packages that you have consciously installed (and are not automatically installed, or of priorities: required, important, or standard):
apt list '~i !~M !(~pimportant|~pstandard|~prequired)'
Very handy to include with incremental user backups or before doing a major version upgrade. This file can be used ad an input for dselect to restore your installed packages quickly.
You can also do something similar with pip (if you use python app packages too).

dpkg --get-selections > package.txt
You can view all the packages saved in a file named "package.txt"
