Is there a way to display which packages (say, on a Knoppix 3.8 HD installation) came from testing, which from stable, and which from unstable?

One would assume the package management system would know to upgrade a given package from the distribution it originally came from, wouldn't one? ("Distribution" here meaning "stable/testing/unstable".)

Look in /var/lib/apt/lists, this should help.

ls /var/lib/apt/lists
