According to the dpkg man page:
dpkg -l | --list package-name-pattern ... List packages matching given pattern. If no pack age-name-pattern is given, list all packages in /var/lib/dpkg/available. However, on my Woody systems, it looks like if no name is given it lists the installed packages rather than the available packages.
