Not so trivial.  This only tests packages on your system.  For finding
packages which are split in their source, one could check the
Contents-* files for packages which still store files in both.  The
following might be culprits (not confirmed with up-to-date packages):

aalib-bin
aalib1-dev
ax25-tools
crafty
cygnus-stylesheets
doc-linux-zh-s
docbook
dxpc
electric-fence
exim-doc-html
fakeroot
filerunner
fsviewer
gap4-doc-dvi
gap4-doc-html
gap4-doc-ps
gap4-gdat
gap4-tdat
gedit
gnucash
grace
grafix
hbf-cns40-b5
kernel-patch-2.2.10-powerpc-apus
lambdamoo-docs
manpages-es
mico-2.3.0
mico-2.3.0-examples
netpbm
rsynth
speaker
tkdesk
tktable-dev
ucbmpeg-play
urlredir
vchkpw

BTW, does anyone know what "././@LongLink" is in the potato
Contents-i386 file?
