On lenny this no longer happens.
Packages that could be upgraded and have been placed on hold: aptitude search '~U~ahold' Pakchages that could be upgraded: aptitude search '~U' (Assuming that, for your purposes, "could be upgraded" is equivalent to "have been held back".)
Thanks very much. I swear I read the docs, but I guess I can't read. For my purposes I think I want:aptitude search '~U' -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/etc/apt/sources.list.securityonly
where sources.list.securityonly has just the security.debian.org
repositories. (It makes me wonder if there's a way
to do this without having a separate sources.list file.)
