oops, i just read the OP mail again, the one liner above only gives you
the wget'able urls of all installed packages of a system, so you would
have to run it on 10.04.3 to actually get the difference between the two
machines ...

though it should be generally doable with some similar grep-dctrl
command to get the package list of upgradeable packages.
