Debian Goodies (the debian-goodies package) is a set of utilities that work with Debian packages and provide more information than you can get out of the standard APT (Advanced Package Tool) utilities. You can use Debian Goodies to find out which packages have releases, critical bugs, which ones hog the most disk space or use older versions of files that have been upgraded.
