Is it a bug that 

    dpkg -p kernel-source-2.6.2
        
shows information about kernel-source-2.6.2 while
    dpkg -l kernel-source-2.6.2

claims the Version is <none> and the Description is (no description
available)? It looks like dpkg -l refers only to packages that are
installed, which is not the way I understand man dpkg.
dpkg -l lists installed packages and i think it should.
