Basically, it gives you a much shorter list than if you simply list all installed packages, without changing the result if you ask the package manager on a different, freshly-installed box to install “just” those on the shorter list. DPKG-based OSes must maintain a similar list, because they are able to detect when an automatically-installed package is no longer needed as a result of removing the last explicitly-installed package that depended on it.
