May be I was not clear. I wanted to packages installed say from nerim

I would like clarify that I would like to get a list of packages
installed from particular source. This I felt as necessary when we do
dpkg --get-selections and store the result to install again or install
in other machine with new sources list.
Not sure about this one.
I also wanted to get list of packages available from a source. As I
use apt, I wanted to use apt-cache as aptitude could not find as
suggested by Mr.Florian Ernst
As already suggested, if the source is already in you
/etc/apt/sources.list and you have done apt-get update then there will
be a packages file in /var/lib/apt/lists/ for each source.
You can then grep/awk the file to get a list of package names available
e.g. for marillat amd64 source spello.sscnet.ucla.edu_marillat_dists_sid_
cd /var/lib/apt/lists
cat spello.sscnet.ucla.edu_marillat_dists_sid_*| grep Package |awk -F
: {'print$2'} > marillat.txt
Will give a text file will all the package names in it. Do the same for
all your sources. You probably write a simple bash script to compare
the output of dpkg -l | grep ii against these files to fins where the
package originates from.
Not very elegant but may do what you want
