I don't do anything "like Buntu" intentionally on account of it. In fact:
$ grep ntu /etc/hosts
0.0.0.0 askubuntu.com
0.0.0.0 ubuntu.com
0.0.0.0 ubuntu.org
I don't like having *buntu/Canonical-speak polluting my browser history. :-D

"policy is meant to help debug issues relating to the preferences file. With no
arguments it will print out the priorities of each source. Otherwise it prints
out detailed information about the priority selection of the named package."
apt-cache policy linux-image and apt-cache showpkg produce output that in no way
resembles my OP request (searches substring from complete package name; one line
per available package, including its version, source repo optional).
