The following works pretty well:
dpkg -l | awk '/^.i/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-cache policy
| awk '/^[a-z0-9.\-]+:/ {pkg=$1}; /\*\*\*/ {OFS=\t; ver=$2;
getline; print pkg,ver,$2,$3}'
That is all in one line and produces the following output:
acl: 2.2.49-2http://ftp.de.debian.orgsqueeze/main

You can then use grep to search for whatever you want to search for.
Alternatively you can take a look at apt-listrepository [1], but I
haven't used that and can't comment on its capabilities.

I was going to suggest the command aptitude search ?narrow(?archive(testing), ?installed) but then I realized that in some cases it does not work as I expected, so I will just suggest looking at narrow in the documentation [0], and then deciding for yourself if it does what you want.

Re: aptitude package filtering
I tested both of apt-show-versions and aptitude limit approach. There are differences. apt-show-versions shows which packages are installed from what archive. The list aptitude shows is, the packages which are installed and they exists in the given archive. apt-show-versions is more like what I wanted. for example if package X is installed from stable and the same version is available in testing, apt-show-versions doesn't show it but aptitude shows.
