first to backup and second to restore i presume? awesome! i may be a lot more willing to break stuff in future!
yep, it's pretty useful after a flash or if you want to clone an N900. The first just makes a list of all your installed packages. The second just selects them so you can install them by doing

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade

This installs them automatically without having to open an app manager and select them individually. Just to be clear this will not backup and restore app user data, it will just install all the apps you had before, fresh.
