I haven't tried this with the tablets, only my Ubuntu notebook, but with dpkg you can make a list of installed packages manually and import it again in one go. I think application manager does something similar.
Backup (assuming /media/mmc1 is a memory card):
Restore:
edit:Correction..with Maemo the sources aren't stored in /etc/apt/sources.list, but
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list .

Code:
sudo gainroot # backup repository list cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list /media/mmc1/ # backup list of installed packages dpkg --get-selections | grep "\binstall" > /media/mmc1/installed_packages.txt
Code:
sudo gainroot cp /media/mmc1/hildon-application-manager.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ apt-get update dpkg --set-selections < /media/mmc1/installed_packages.txt apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list .

We have dpkg here; that looks like it should work.

That is NOT the end of the stories. After restoration, only apps backup and restore, the tablet functioned very very very slow. For example, on gnumeric, you ususally click open file, it will open the file, but no, it gave a long pause, a blank screen for 1 min or more, it then loaded the file, so did the browser or other apps. Well, that was just a test. I then reflashed the whole thing and installed apps one by one, everything has been running very smooth ever since. I did not report this, as I did not understand it and felt like I am saying something really stupid.

apt-get update just gets the new lists; it's the same as a "refresh catalog" or whatever in app manager.
That error's indicating that the URL given for the rickybrent repo is wrong; you'd get the same thing in the app manager.
