By "Packages file" do you mean, e.g.,
"/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages.dists_frozen_main"? If so, I don't
believe the desired information is there.
If you mean an individual package file, e.g., xyz-0.13.deb, then "dpkg -c
xyz-0.13.deb" displays an "ls -l" of the archive therein. One doesn't
have to install the package to see this.
