 $ dpkg -s tgif
 
 to see the status. There is a line beginning with "Maintaoner: " 
 There you can look for the mail address of package maintainer.
 
 Ups! You have remuved tgif, right? Then do:
 
 $ grep -n 'Package: tgif' /var/lib/dpkg/available
 
 You will get e line like
 
 12554 Package: tgif...............
 
 Then
 
 $ vi +12554 /var/lib/dpkg/available
 
 to look for package infos.
