I don't exactly understand what do you mean by
`learn any of the DATES of any of the items listed'. If you are looking
for when the package was being last updated, you can look at the news
section of <https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/ideviceinstaller.html>. I
agree it will help if the package page contains something like
`last updated on 1 Jan 2016'.
Cheers,
Alex
