apt-get doesn't break.
However, the instructions are:
$ sudo apt-get install dselect
$ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages
$ sudo dselect

This is what is potentially problematic. So, our solution was (as per MJ 
Ray's suggestion) to:
$ ./ubuntu-packages.sh -ic
... [something about copy and paste this command ] ....
    sudo apt-get install ... [list generated from 
ubuntu.{VERSION}.packages ]
$

See bug 8840 for more details.
