man dpkg(1) says:
dpkg -S | --search filename-search-pattern ...
Search for a filename from installed packages.
Since dpkg is expecting a pattern, you have to escape the [ from both the
shell and dpkg's filename-search-pattern matching engine.
As others have said, /usr/bin/[ is roughly equivalent to /usr/bin/test.
