apt-show-source

By Juergen Haas, About.com

Definition: apt-show-source: Shows source-package information This program parses the APT lists for source packages and the dpkg status file and then lists every package with a different version number than the one installed. It's very useful if your deb-src sources.list entries point to unstable and your deb entries point to stable.
