Recently, I asked a question regarding how to know which distro (stable,
testing, unstable) each of my packages comes from.
The answer to that (package apt-show-versions) plus grep is the answer
to your question.
After you install apt-show-versions:
# apt-get update
# apt-show-versions |grep upgradeable|sort
Very big "Thank You!!!" to whoever wrote that utility...
