 This package contains:
 .
  apt-sources - major mode for editing Debian sources.list files;
  apt-utils - interface to APT (Debian package management);
  debian-bug - an Emacs command to submit a bug report;
  deb-view - view contents of Debian package, similarly to tar-mode;
  gnus-BTS - provides buttons for bug numbers seen in Gnus messages;

 .
 See /usr/share/doc/debian-el/README.Debian for a short description of

So should I parse /var/lib/dpkg/status to get the information?

Thanks,
