First, I looked at /var/lib/dpkg/status -- and that's fine, but it only
shows the packages that I have installed. I'm guessing you want to search
for uninstalled packages as well.
So, next I looked in /var/lib/apt/lists/ and picked one of the several
lists there. The format is easy enough to parse. You can even do it
with an awk one-liner.
unicorn:~$ awk '/^Package:/{p=$2} /^Maintainer: Debian XMPP/{print p}' /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_bullseye_main_binary-amd64_Packages
