Heheheh. :)
Which version of Debian are you running? I believe that the locations
of some files have changed since potato.
On second thought, try running the grep-dctrl command against
/var/lib/dpkg/status. On reflection, I think that this would be the
better file to check, as it appears to contain information on every
package that has been installed at some point.
bj@neo:/var/lib/dpkg$ grep ^Status status |sort |uniq
Status: deinstall ok config-files
Status: hold ok installed
Status: install ok installed
Status: purge ok not-installed
Hopefully *this* will work. :)
