Its really unclear what it is you want to do, is this a bash script
your talking about? A perl script? A Python script?

How are you going to get information from a package if you don't know
the name of the package?

If you know the name, then that answeres your first question, and the second
you can get by dpkg -s pkgname and some grep and awk (or a one line
perl script with some fancy RE)
