' Or, if you'd like to do it from aptitude's interactive interface: /~b will bring up a search dialog and look for packages in a broken state. Backslash will repeat the search. Or you can use l instead of / in order to limit aptitude's display to things that match your pattern (rather than searching down the list one match at a time). /usr/doc/aptitude/README is your friend.
