Hmmm. It's not that easy, but you can check the *Packages files under
/var/lib/apt/lists , for example
security.debian.org_dists_stable_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages
contains all the security updates available from security.debian.org
But I think it's better if you search after you may want:
apt-cache search foo-bar
and check the results with:
apt-cache show foo-bar

If possible, please use shorter signatures, maximum three lines length.
