I wish 'dpkg -l ' didn't list packages with
'Unknown' Desired Status and 'Not Installed' Status.
An extra option (--verbose or --all maybe?) should allow it, though...
someone might find it useful.
Presently this kind of listing (dpkg -l '*' apparently lists all available
packages...!) is pretty uninformative and suggests a dirty package system
