The usual case for this is a package that has a Vcs-* field for the Debian
packaging, gets modified in Ubuntu directly in the archive without pushing a
new VCS branch anywhere, and doesn't get the Vcs-* fields updated to
indicate that they don't represent the Ubuntu package history.
As a first approximation:
$ zcat ~/ubuntu/dists/natty/*/source/Sources.gz \
| grep-dctrl -r -FVersion ubuntu -a \
\( \( -FVcs-Bzr . -a \! -FVcs-Bzr launchpad \) -o -FVcs-Git . \
-o -FVcs-Svn . -o -FVcs-Cvs . \) \
-sPackage,Version,Vcs-Bzr,Vcs-Git,Vcs-Svn,Vcs-Cvs | grep -c Package
1037
$
1037 source packages in natty with an ubuntu version number and some kind of
Vcs-* field set not pointing at launchpad. Almost all of these fields
contain stale data for Ubuntu's purposes.
