You can use the Backup tool that comes with Maemo 5 and backup the list of currently installed software.
After flashing you can restore the previously installed applications from the backup.

Check /var/cache/apt/archives, that's one way.
Second method is to edit /home/user/.osso/hildon-application-manager
and change clean-after-install from 1 to 0 then check /home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache/ for the debs.
Third method (repacking the files into debs), is to download and install dpkg-repack from the SDK repos, however since docpurge purges the documents you'll get some problems while repacking.

you get always the newest versions with app managers restore -function.....
if you have installed stuff from debs and you haven't spared those, just start searching for them already (and if it is warez, hope karma will avenge you...)

There is. As root. You have to have extras-devel enabled. Change to an empty directory with lots of free space, say /home/user/MyDocs/debbackup:
This is an advanced operation. Many packages are system packages and I don't know what will happen if you try to install them on a fresh flashed install. I'd advise to install only the application debs.
Code:
$ sudo gainroot
# apt-get install dpkg-repack
(...dpkg-repack installation...)
# cd /home/user/MyDocs/debbackup
# for package in $( dpkg -l | awk 'NR>5 {print $2}' ); do dpkg-repack $package; done

thanks guys
warez... what paid for items are there that a free version cant do already??
also helps with sharing the apps between fones
saves searching for the files and re downloading them one by one so the question is y wouldnt u?
and search through apps manager and dpkg-repack isnt displayed?
i have enabled extra-devel and extra-testing as i think its in extra testing as wasnt even found through x- term when just extra devel was enabled
