We know that Ubuntu has 60,000 + packages.
I may not require all those but want a dpkg status file containing all the possible packages information listed.
I have a customized Linux where I manually hardcoded the utilities unlike installing through apt. So I don't have a status file with the packages. Now I want to create it manually so that when I query for the list of packages it gives the information of the utilities/packages what I have.
If I can get the status file with all the possible packages available for Ubuntu structured in a standard format like below, then I can edit that file and use it on my machine.
example format:
