There might be a better way, but assuming you have experimental in your
sources.list...
t=$(tempfile);
awk > $t '/^Package:/{print "^" $2 "$"}' \
/var/lib/apt/lists/*_dists_experimental_main_binary-*_Packages
dpkg --get-selections | awk '/\tinstall$/{print $1}' | grep -f $t
rm $t
This relies on package names being regex-friendly. (I think the only
regex character they can have is ".", which causes few problems.)
