How would I trace out which archive(s) in the sources.list a given installed deb package was or (could be) sourced from? I understand that the same package may be indexed by multiple archives.
Does "aptitude" log any of this type of information when its installing packages?
My aim is to pare down my current sources.list to the minimum set of archives needed to maintain the current set of installed packages.
