Perhaps there are more places, but the package lists are at least in
/var/lib/apt/lists one file for each source (or mirror). I haven't
packages from CDROM, but I'd assume that they might end up there
as well.

Moreover there's a list in /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list containing
references to the CDROMs themselves (what exactly is in there
I can't say, but I'd expect the gory details over there:
