(aptitude search '~S~Asqueeze-proposed-updates!~Alenny-proposed-updates'), 
maybe?  You might have to use different search terms, depending on what is in 
those Release files.

No, sorry.  My understanding is that updates and go directly into os-p-u or 
s-p-u and then they can migrate to s-u (new) when tested, or oldstable or 
stable at a point release.

I mean that having packages that were supposed to be for os-p-u in s-p-u will 
not adversely affect users of s-p-u, since the version numbers will be lower 
than the ones in stable.
