You can check from where these packages are coming with:
aptitude search -F "%p %t %v" "~S ~i ~Aunstable"
%p : name of package
%t : name of archive
%v : version
Since Sven posted the same search, I have to assume that I haven't
used the wrong short options. I don't have the time to check the
documentation but you could try the long options just in case:
aptitude search -F "%p %t %v" "?narrow(?installed,?archive(unstable)"
