For myself, I often use a non-official package made by a friend:
the apt-moreutils pacakge[1] and, more precisely, the apt-origins
tool in this package.
It allows me to easily see how many and which packages come from
each of my APT sources. If a version of a package is not in any of my
sources (either because I do not upgrade it or because it disappeared
from the APT repo), it is listed into the "Installed" catch-all final
group.
