Good day.

Is there an easy way how I can found out from which repo and which
section (or whatever it is called, I mean here: main, contrib,
non-free) one or more packages come from?

For example, I want to know if I have the packages installed from, say
Testing / contrib - how I can do this?

Thank You for Your time.

Certainly - Brought to me by #d's dpkg I now have the following among my
bash functions:

---- snip ---
function apt-listrepo () {
dpkg -l | awk '/^.i/ {print $2}' \
| xargs apt-cache policy \ | awk '/^[a-z0-9.\-]+:/ {pkg=$1}; /\*\*\*/ {OFS="\t"; ver=$2; getline; print pkg,ver,$2,$3}'
}
--- snip ---

It produces output like:

[...]
xmonad: 0.9.1-2+b1 http://ftp.de.debian.org squeeze/main
xorg: 1:7.5+6 http://ftp.de.debian.org squeeze/main
xorg-dev: 1:7.5+6 http://ftp.de.debian.org squeeze/main
xorg-docs-core: 1:1.5-1 http://ftp.de.debian.org squeeze/main
[...]

Have fun :)

Per package you can use 'apt-cache policy <package>'. If you want to
find all installed packages from contrib or non-free look at aptitude's
patterns in /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README
