When packages are installed.

I tried to send this directly to Ian J., but I have not yet heard back from him, so I'll send it to him (and all of the Debian developers while I'm at it) via debian-devel. Ian, In working on the dbackup program, I find that I need to be able to determine the installation date (& time) of a pack
