Well, first off, packages.debian.net seems to work. No idea if it really
does, or is just pretending.

Second, if they're in youre sources.list, "apt-cache policy" will do it:

$ apt-cache policy bash
bash:
  Installed: 3.1-1
  Candidate: 3.1-1
  Version table:
     3.1-2 0
        130 http://debian.csail.mit.edu unstable/main Packages
 *** 3.1-1 0
        500 http://debian.csail.mit.edu testing/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
