That doesn't work as expected for me.

I am running Jessie, with only one package from Sid, as verified with
apt-show versions mentioned earlier, and confirmed with apt-cache
policy.

I have set the pin priority of sid to 1 in /etc/apt/preferences do that
there is no automatic upgrade to the packages from unstable.

When I run:

$ aptitude search "~S ~i ~Aunstable"

I get a lot more than only the packages that where installed from sid
though. The installed packages for which the version in Jessie and Sid
is the same are included in the list too.

Is it possible to create a query in aptitude that shows the packages are
*really* taken from sid ?
