Format syntax:
A format is a string that will be output for each package. The format
can include the standard escape sequences \n (newline), \r (carriage
return) or \\ (plain backslash). Package information can be included
by inserting variable references to package fields using the ${var[;width]}
syntax. Fields will be right-aligned unless the width is negative in which
case left aligenment will be used.
For example dpkg-query -L lynx
would give you a list of files installed by lth package lynx.
