Thanks to you for your feedback.

I meant the script as a tool to check with the absolute latest upstream 
release.
If this is a problem (or not the wished behaviour) I can easily modify the 
script so that it doesn't consider upstream versions above a given release.
In a previous version of the script I was checking by release and suite so the 
result was in line with your expectations, however, many packages which are 
maintained by the Ubuntu Desktop Team could not be found (while available on 
the Sources pages).

My problem is that many of these packages are not maintained by the Ubuntu 
Desktop Team, so I'm not sure that it is appropriate to list them all in this 
page; what I would really need is a list from the pov of the Ubuntu team.

Thanks for your help,

Cesare
