I'm sorry, but there's no facility in dpkg to log installations at the moment: it's a long-standing enhancement request. You either have to do it yourself, or use aptitude which I believe has installation logging support. If the upgrade was recent, you may be able to dig out a date by comparing /var/lib/dpkg/status, /var/lib/dpkg/status-old, and /var/backups/dpkg.status.*.
