If you use aptitude, in the TUI has tree list of:

Installed Packages
Not Installed Packages
Obsolete and Locally Created Packages <===== this is what you're looking 
for.
Virtual Packages
Tasks

Everything but the indicated branch is in the repositories that 
sources.list points to.

To start the TUI, just enter:

$ sudo aptitude

at the console.  It works without the sudo, but just for looking - you 
can't change anything without root privileges, of course...
