Uh, for me (dpkg 1.9.21) man says -l lists available, and -p
dpkg -p|--print-avail package
Display details about package, as found in
/var/lib/dpkg/available.
dpkg -l | --list package-name-pattern ...
List packages matching given pattern. If no
package-name-pattern is given, list all packages
in /var/lib/dpkg/available.
