(Get the code!)
Rather than a USC-specific database, I think it would make more sense for apt itself to record which repository every installed package is from. That way not just USC, but any package management utility could tell the difference between packages that were (a) installed along with the OS (e.g. bug 589501), (b) installed from a repository where they're still available, (c) installed from a repository you no longer use, (d) installed from a repository you still use but that are no longer present in that repository, and (e) installed from a standalone .deb (in which case apt wouldn't have recorded it at all).
In the meantime, though, we just have "Other", and Skype and Opera should appear there. :-)
