I'm not sure quite what you're looking for. If you want a list of installed packages that have no candidate version, run "aptitude search ?obsolete". If you want a list of packages that have only configuration files remaining and that have no candidate version, run "aptitude search ?config-files?not(?version(CANDIDATE))". If you want a list of packages that aren't installed and have no available version, I'm not sure that's possible. You might try "aptitude search ?not(?virtual)?not(?reverse-provides(?true))". On my computer that returns nothing. If you want a list of packages that cannot be installed, I'm sure that's not possible.
