Not that I knew of; but perhaps the following can give you a starting
point for a better solution:
ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list | less
The command above gives you hopefully a list of packages you installed
the last time, IINM. It won't tell you about which branch they were
pulled from: But perhaps it might help remember the package you
installed from unstable ... Sorry, but this seems to be a weak point
on Debian, still: The, IINM, fact you don't have a precise history on
what was installed when ...
Good luck ... :)
Nice weekend
