Based on tips from past debian-user threads:

aptitude search '?narrow(?installed, !?origin(Debian))!obsolete'

or the short version:

aptitude search ~S~i\!~ODebian\!~o

The best part it it can be turned into a remove/purge command if the 
result is satisfactory:

aptitude purge '?narrow(?installed, !?origin(Debian))!obsolete'

or

aptitude purge ~S~i\!~ODebian\!~o

Note: the ?obsolete (~o) pattern is meant to exclude packages which are 
not available from any archive, although they should probably also be 
removed/purged before the upgrade.

HTH,
Andrei
