Automatic installation documentation

[Phil]

Hi,

Do some of you know about a tool that is able to make an installation
documentation.

This will be about the same as generating a report on the machine.

I've begun to write sth that output a LaTeX report giving details about
the hardware, listing some important files as /etc/network/interfaces,
reporting the partitioning of the disks, giving the list of packages with
their versions and the .config in appendix.

Does this already exists ?

Btw, do you know a simple way to get the equivalent of dpkg -l (to get the
list of packages installed with their version) but which is not truncated.
(For the moment I have to parse myself /var/lib/dpkg/status.)
