It's possible. I've done it with aptitude by looking up each package
from the list generated by the command below and selecting the Debian
version instead of the deb-multimedia version.
aptitude search ~S~i~Omultimedia
With apt-get you would have to build up a big command line like
apt-get install package1/version1 package2/versions ...
because there are lots of interdependencies which would get in the way.
You can find packages from deb-multimedia without aptitude as well.
Like so
$ dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\n' \
| xargs -d'\n' sh -euf -c '
apt-cache showpkg $@ \
| sed -ne
s/^Package: //p;
/^Versions:/,/^Reverse Depends:/{
\_^[^[:space:]].*(/var/lib/dpkg/status)_p;
}; \
| sed -neN; /_deb.multimedia_/P;
' sh
I tried this on a wheezy installation, and it failed, so I tried
sending it to a 'dpkg.txt' and I got a null output on it although I
know that I do have some files from that repository. I'd like to know
how to get it working on wheezy please?
Ok. First, i'll explain what it does, and may be this will help you to
fix it,
because this command relies on names and output formatting and is not very
reliable, to be honest. I'll get list of all packages, like
$ dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\n' | head -n3
ace-gperf
acl
acpi
then i execute short script. Though, script is executed for as many
arguments
as possible, this is just for performance reasons. I use `apt-cache
showpkg`,
because it displays version with path to corresponding repository
(repository
'Packages' file in fact, cached in /var/lib/apt/lists) and, if package is
installed (see note [1]), path to dpkg status file (/var/lib/dpkg/status).
Let's see how it looks:
# apt-cache showpkg hello
Package: hello
Versions:
2.8-2
(/var/lib/apt/lists/shilvana.local:3142_debian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-i386_Packages)

the interesting lines are these two:
2.8-2
(/var/lib/apt/lists/shilvana.local:3142_debian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-i386_Packages)
(/var/lib/apt/lists/shilvana.local:3142_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages)
2.6-1
(/var/lib/apt/lists/shilvana.local:3142_debian_dists_squeeze_main_binary-i386_Packages)
(/var/lib/dpkg/status)
as you may see, they have the form:
^version (path) (path)
Now to choose only installed packages, i should check, that one of package's
version lines contain (/var/lib/dpkg/status). And to determine from what
repository package came from, i should check other path entries. Let's
try it
with sed:
apt-cache showpkg hello \
| sed -ne
s/^Package: //p;
/^Versions:/,/^Reverse Depends:/{
\_^[^[:space:]].*(/var/lib/dpkg/status)_p;
};
I print package name, then for range starting at /^Versions:/ and ending at
/^Reverse Depends:/ i choose lines, which start not with [:space:] and
contain
(/var/lib/dpkg/status). Result will look like:
hello
2.6-1

Just want to add: if you need to exclude these packages (like ones with
status
'deinstall ok config-files') you may do this by filtering dpkg-query
output, like so
$ dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\t${Status}\n' | sed -ne '/install ok

After removing the many packages, make the DMO repository unavailable and just re-install the few packages you want.
