Dear Maintainer,

§4.2 of the release notes¹ recommends to run «aptitude search '~i(!~ODebian)'».

I suggest to change the search pattern to «'?narrow(~i, (!~ODebian))'».

That will also catch packages that were backported directly from sid, or
packages that had been compiled with local patches (I have a few of
those), etc..

Cheers,

Daniel
(I couldn't find the repository so I'm not actually attaching a patch,
but I've set the label anyway since I'm proposing a specific change.)
