No idea. However, take a look at the timestamps on the rcN.d symlinks which indicate when it was installed. Then see if you can find any directories or configuration files with the same timestamp, as these also indicate when their parent packages were installed. /var/dpkg/info is worth looking at, too, because the *.list files frequently have an installation-time timestamp (though not always).
