http://debian.thermoman.de/misc/apt-listrepository should do what you want.

It is a simple Perl-script, which uses the output of apt-cache policy, to list
all installed packages and the corresponding repository it was installed from.

The output looks like:
xdm                                 http://ftp.acc.umu.se gnome2.2/
xexec                               ftp://ftp.de.debian.org woody/main
xfce4-battery-plugin                /var/lib/dpkg/status
...

I hope it helps
