I often do "aptitude install package" to install a package.

Cow can I get a list of all the packages I've installed this way?

Looking at /var/cache/apt/archives seems like a kludge?

dpkg -l | less

dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' | less

will restrict it to just the installed packages, just the package
name.

aptitude search '~i!~M'

will show only those packages that are not automatically
installed. That is those packages that were manually, purposefully
installed, and not packages that were brought in as dependencies.

If what you want is historical information, check /var/log/aptitude
and /var/log/dpkg.
