Hi apmuthu,

as the manpage of dpkg-query states [0]:

Users of APT-based frontends should use apt show package-name
instead as the available file is only kept up-to-date when
using dselect.

In fact, many of the installed packages won't show up if using dpkg-query:

 ~ ❯ dpkg-query -p zstd       
dpkg-query: package 'zstd' is not available
 ~ ❯ dpkg-query -p qemu-server
dpkg-query: package 'qemu-server' is not available

Thanks for the info.
