apt-forktracer

apt-forktracer a utility for managing Debian package versions

It lets you find out which packages in the system are installed in non-official versions. This lets you keep track of important updates in the stable release if you have another version of package installed — such as a backport or modified package.

Its functions are described in the following manual pages:

apt-forktracer(8) — a utility for managing package versions
forktracer.conf(5) — apt-forktracer configuration file

The source code is in the GIT repository Tarballs with subsequent releases and information about important changes will be made available on this page.
