Or simply view the file /var/lib/dpkg/available, and search for
"Package: postfix" (or whatever package you want to look for).

I don't see anything in the dpkg man page showing a command to do
this from dpkg, oddly. There is dpkg -I, but you have to download
the .deb first for that; dpkg doesn't seem to have an option to
display a package's record from /var/lib/dpkg/available.
