Try this too if virtualbox is the specific package you're interested in:

$ grep -A 3 "^Package: virtualbox\$" /var/lib/dpkg/status

Package: virtualbox

Status: install ok installed

Priority: optional

Section: contrib/misc

how sure are you of that? Did you just look at the first few hundred or did you
really find all unique values? Try:

grep ^Status: /var/lib/dpkg/status | sort | uniq -c
