You don't need a full Jessie install, only to update (not upgrade) 
against Jessie sources. It should be enough to set APT::Default-Release 
to your release to prevent apt wanting to upgrade you to Jessie, but you 
could also pin it to -1 or just add the source only to do the query and 
then remove it again.

Other than that I can only think of parsing the Packages file, which is 
easily obtainable from any mirror. grep-dctrl from dctrl-tools would be 
one tool to do that.

Kind regards,
Andrei
