@guiverc,
Well, it may not be the most elegant approach, but here is what I did.
The Script [getPkgInfo.sh]:
#!/bin/bash
dbg=0
packageDetails="/Local/PkgInfo"
packageNameList="/Local/PkgList.txt"
packageScanStat="/Local/PkgList.details"
getPackageList()
{
dpkg-query --list |
tail --lines=+6 |
awk '{ print $2 }'
}
details_long()
{
dpkg-query --show --showformat='Package: ${Package}

Description: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon
Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and
configuration status.
.
ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering
ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file
/proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the
event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration
files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin.

It isn't elegant, but it's a start! 
Wish there was something better integrated with our package managers of choice. Any takers out there ?
Where I was headed with this was to put a spotlight on packages that are NOT compliant with a library version so as to render visible and raise awareness of where some attention might be needed.
