Our repositories are mostly copies of the upstream ones, so you can use
upstream tools as a first step.
deltah: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (hardy)
metad: http://packages.debian.org/ (stable)
Then check if the package you're looking for exists in our repos by
digging into http://archive.gnewsense.org/.

dfsg = Debian Free Software Guidelines
If a package name has "dfsg" in it then it means that the upstream
software has non-free parts in it, but that those parts were removed by
Debian developers.
