I don't want to argue you out of org-mode. ;-)

But for logging additional packages, you might look at tasksel(8). If
you create a description file of your packages, you can use this with
tasksel, when you set up a new system.
e.g. /usr/local/share/tasksel/local.desc:

Task: kids
Section: user
Description:
 Applications for kids.
Packages: list
 gcompris
 tuxpaint

Task: development
Section: user
Description: Development tools
 Tools needed for software development.
Packages: list
 emacs23
 emacs23-common-non-dfsg
 bbdb
 emacs-goodies-el
 yasnippet
 git
 gcc
 g++
 gdb
 gdb-doc

Task: net
Section: user
Description:
 Packages for networking and internet.
Packages: list
 xul-ext-noscript
 xul-ext-cookie-monster
 dovecot-imapd
 fetchmail

And logging configuration changes could be done with git(1). If you
checkin the base configuration in /etc, /var/lib/... you can always see changes
you made with "git status" and "git diff".
