I tested both of apt-show-versions and aptitude limit approach. There are differences. apt-show-versions shows which packages are installed from what archive. The list aptitude shows is, the packages which are installed and they exists in the given archive. apt-show-versions is more like what I wanted.
for example if package X is installed from stable and the same version is available in testing, apt-show-versions doesn't show it but aptitude shows.
