I could have phrased that a bit different, indeed ;-)  I have been told 
already to look at apt4rpm to create the repositories such that these 
fields get filled in correctly and maybe that gives me what I want to see.
If nothing else, I could still take the output from apt-get -s upgrade 
and match that against a separate list of packages names with 
information. Less elegant, but it could do the trick.
