I have this in my synaptic.conf file:
address@hidden:~> grep supported .synaptic/synaptic.conf
  supportedColumnPos "8";
  supportedColumnVisible "1";
  mark-unsupported "true";
  supported-label "Debian";
  supported-components "main contrib non-free non-US/main 
non-US/contrib non-US/non-free";

in hope to match all official debian packages, namely those:
address@hidden:~> grep ftp.de.debian /etc/apt/sources.list
  deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
  deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US main 
contrib non-free

Works fine, so far I have only seen non-official packages without a 
debian graphic in the "Supported"-column :)

Now, there is this one source I use, which behaves weird:
Its packages have no debian graphic in the "Supported"-column, but they 
 do not show up when I select "Status -> [Not] Installed 
(unsupported)"-view.

address@hidden:~> cat 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nerim.net_debian-marillat_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Release

Component: main
Origin: Christian Marillat
Label: Unofficial Packages Free
