the perl team was looking into this at debconf, not sure if people
still are or not...but there's lots of interest in git in the perl
team.

here's a script I use that basically does that: 
http://git.ryan52.info/?p=rebuild-scripts;a=blob;f=download;h=69a188de34d3159a45f972649a218ec0b48ba0f2;hb=HEAD

so something like this should work:

path=~/projects/deb/pkg-ruby-extras/trunk/
for i in $(find $path -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | sed 's/^.*\///' | grep 
-v "^.svn$" | grep -v ^tarballs$ | grep -v ^build-area$); do if grep -q 
"^Package: $i$" 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_*_source_Sources; then 
echo $i; fi; done

should probably change the _sid_ to _{sid,unstable}_ to account for different 
people's sources.list.

Cheers,
Ryan
