Your question is pretty vague. What do you mean by obsolete?

AFAIK if you remove etch and lenny from sources.list all packages that 
are not available in sid anymore will be listed by aptitude as 'Obsolete 
or locally created packages'.

For packages that are obsolete/orphaned ... and going to be removed you 
can also watch debian-news. Sometimes you can even find recommendations 
for replacing it in the package description or bug reports.
