Use 'dpkg -l package_name'.  If you have the package installed, it will 
print out version info like this (my system, shiznit, has a 2.2.18 
kernel):

shiznit[3]% dpkg -l kernel-headers-2.2.18pre21
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| 
Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: 
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-==================
ii  kernel-headers 2.2.18pre21-1  Header files related to Linux kernel

The last line shows that I have the 2.2.18pre21 package installed.  If 
you query a package that is not installed it will say it's not found:

shiznit[4]% dpkg -l kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
No packages found matching kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17.

(That means "No INSTALLED packages found matching 
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17.")

afaik there's no "/usr/bin/is_this_pkg_installed" command - the above 
is closest.  Clear?
