I agree that generating such a list for users would be useful, but for the moment, it can't be done simple. While all the files that are in the backup could be queried by a (non-public) database, this database would also contain files in security-master.debian.org:/srv/security- -master.debian.org/queues/embargoed. For the beginning, looking into your home directories on paradis.debian.org and master.debian.org would be a good start. Cheers, Martin
