/var/lib/dpkg/available seems to be the right thing. I can grep for all the
"Filename:" lines, use sed to throw out all but the actual filenames, and then
grep the resulting file for all the .debs I have, one by one. Any .deb that
isn't in the list isn't currently avaialable, and is therefore presumably out
of date, and therefore a candidate for the Lost Packages site.
