I use 'apt-cache policy <package name>' to 'search' for a package.
~$apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:3.5.4+dfsg-4
Version table:
1:4.0.3-2~bpo70+1 0
100 http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ wheezy-backports/main amd64
Packages
1:3.5.4+dfsg-4 0
500 http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
I don't have to use script fu, the results are minimal/manageable here.
