I have to correct myself. Just noticed that packages with long names
could get chopped this way.
A better way of getting a p_list:

cat /var/lib/dpkg/available |grep --extended-regexp '^Package' |awk
{'print $2'} >/tmp/p_only
cat /var/lib/dpkg/available |grep --extended-regexp '^Version' |awk
{'print $2'} >/tmp/v_only
paste -d'=' /tmp/p_only /tmp/v_only >/tmp/p_list
