  $ apt-show-versions | grep -v '/bullseye'
  linux-image-5.10.0-24-amd64:amd64 5.10.179-5 installed: No available version in archive
  xtoolwait:amd64 1.3-6.2 installed: No available version in archive
  youtube-dl:all 2021.12.17-1~bpo11+1 newer than version in archive
  yt-dlp:all 2023.07.06-1~bpo12+1 installed: No available version in archive
  $ apt list '~i' | grep -Ev '[/,]oldstable(-updates|-security)?,'

  WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

  Listing...
  linux-image-5.10.0-24-amd64/now 5.10.179-5 amd64 [installed,local]
  xtoolwait/now 1.3-6.2 amd64 [installed,local]
  youtube-dl/now 2021.12.17-1~bpo11+1 all [installed,local]
  yt-dlp/now 2023.07.06-1~bpo12+1 all [installed,local]
  $ 

So just a little more information in the first.

Explanations for these hits:
  linux-image is the previous kernel,
  xtoolwait is from squeeze,
  youtube-dl is the last I found before I started using yt-dlp,
  and I don't have backports in my sources.list.

Cheers,
David.
