These commands did the trick on my RaspberryPi (opkg) based image:
   $ find tmp/deploy/ipk -type f | sed -e 's;tmp/deploy/ipk/.*/;;' | sort >PKGS
   $ awk '{print $1}' <tmp/work/rpi-amltd-linux-gnueabi/rpiface-controller/1.0-r0/installed_pkgs.txt  | sort | xargs -n1 -I \{} grep \{}_ PKGS | sort | uniq >INSTALLED
