Or, if you'd like to do it from aptitude's interactive interface:
/~b
will bring up a search dialog and look for packages in a broken state.
Backslash will repeat the search.
Or you can use l instead of / in order to limit aptitude's display to
things that match your pattern (rather than searching down the list one
match at a time).
/usr/doc/aptitude/README is your friend.
Cheers!
