That looks interesting, but unfortunately it doesn't do the trick,
i.e. there are more packages listed than are actually installed. The
culprit is your first command. Try this one:

dpkg -l|while read i n r;do apt-cache madison $n|grep universe;done|cut -d\| -f1

It seems to me as if it works, but maybe i missed somthing.
