Hi!

Is there a way to get a list of packages which are installed but not
available in any repository listed in sources.list?

I ask because I've written such a script [1], but whether it's worth to
put it into debian depends on if there's already a way to do this.

apt-show-versions (also a perl script) allows you to identify such
packages.

AFAIK aptitude will list such packages in the "Obsolete and locally
created packages" section (not sure about the exact title, I stopped
using those sections a while ago).

It's "Installed (local or obsolete)" in Synaptic.
