list installed packages



hi there,

there are many ways to list all the packages a system has installed, but
unfortunately i cannot find how to get a list the way i want.

i would like to get a listing of all the packages i have installed, with
the branch tag beside it.

  dpkg -l

seems to come closest, but lists the packages, the version and a
description. i do not want the version or the description.... just the
package name with "stable/testing/unstable/experimental" tag beside it.
does anyone know how to do that? i cannot even find a way to get the tag
displayed, otherwise i'd just write a simple script to remove what i
don't want.

cheers,
Sam
