That seems exactly what is needed.I'm not sure this is absolutely relevant to OP's question, but in MX, we have a simple GUI (yad-based) app called "User Installed Packages" which allows the user to rebuild with the OS default packages, then use this tool to reload all the packages s/he had installed since the original installation. It runs fine on RPi OS Bookworm and is available from the MX-23 repos if anyone is interested in taking a look.
If you can point to a recipe for getting it to run on Bookworm I would be delighted to take a look, give it a try, report back, see if we have found the Holy Grail.
While being pre-installed and activated would be ideal, I would be happy as long as it is available as an 'apt install' package. If it doesn't actually need to be activated at initial install time to do its job it doesn't matter if it's not on or not even there by default.But as I've said all along. The key is: It has to come from the official source (not be a 3rd party hack) and it has to be on-by-default from the get-go.
As to 'official tool' or 'third-party hack' I don't much care so long as it does its job. But, yes, something better than what I have thrown together, some vague 'maybe try this' route, something which is comprehensive, keeps up to date with changes, receives bug fixes, is needed.
