"Upstream" was a misleading misnomer intended to refer to anything
... well, "upstream" of the OP's system.  The OP didn't realize
that 'upstream' has essentially become a term of art in package
management, referring to whence code comes before it's packaged.

So the OP wants to know about Debian package updates.

All we still need to know is whether the OP cares
about packages that aren't installed, or whether some
other aspect of Greg's solution isn't sufficient.
