I will take a deeper look into "aptitude" and its options. While making some tests, I've noted that "apt-get -V --print-uris dist- upgrade" does not print the data source, it needs to be runned in simulation mode with "-s" (and so says "man" page) but it would be very useful -for people dealing with several repositories and data sources- to have that information available also at runtime so users can be sure about the origin of the packages before installing them.
