As an aptitude-novice, I tried the above command on my
fully-operational upgrade from Sarge to Etch.  It gave a long list of
installed packages - almost all of which were part of the Debian
install.

The generated list included one of the two non-Debian packages (opera)-
deleted during the install and replaced subsequently. It failed to find
the only other non-Debian package (vuescan).

I also ran the following:

| $ aptitude search '~i! ~Odebian' | grep opera*

and got :

| i   eject                           - ejects CDs and operates CD-Changers
| i   opera                           - The Opera Web Browser

What have I <missed|misunderstood>?
