The list of all available packages in the repos you have in
/etc/apt/sources.list can be found in /var/lib/apt/lists. To visualise
that list (without version numbers) you can use something like:
$ grep "^Package: " /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages | cut -d " " -f 2 | sort
while if you also want the version numbers, you could use the only
slightly more complicated:
$ grep -E "^(Package: |Version: )" /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages | cut -d " " -f 2 | sed 'N;s/\n/ /'
If you are interested in which versions of a specific package are
available in each of the repos you have specified in
/etc/apt/sources.list just use
$ apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME
