When I start a new laptop, I usually start from scratch. I don't remember the exact details, but there is a way of getting a report from apt/apt-get that shows you what's installed, and I think there's a tweak that shows you things that were manually installed.
This is the route I decided to take, primarily because the more I thought about it the more I could see that I wanted to lose rather than keep. The way I've used the PC has changed a lot over the years and a cleanout was more important than simplicity!
