    apt-show-versions

    Is there something like apt-show-versions, but one that can show me from which source (repository) a certain package version is from? What I would like is something like:

    $ apt-show-versions -a firefox
    firefox 2.0+dfsg-1 install ok installed
    No stable version
    firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-2 testing http://source1/debian
    firefox 2.0+dfsg-1 unstable http://source2/debian
    firefox/unstable uptodate 2.0+dfsg-1
