If you have the grep-dctrl package installed, the command
grep-available can do this.

HAL9000:~$ grep-available -P -X -s Package,Depends netscape-base-4
Package: netscape-base-4
Depends: ldso (>= 1.9.7-0), libc5 (>= 5.4.0-0), libc6 (>= 2.1.2), xlib6g (>= 3.3.5)

The command options are:
-P : search on the package name only
-X : require an exact match
-s Package,Depends : display only the Package and Depends fields
and there's a whole bunch more options to fine tune your search.
