why? because it's cropping the package names?
if that's the reason, i would rather go with something ugly as this
(which certainly can be improved):
dpkg-query -W -f='${Status} ${Package}\t${Version}\t${Description}\n' |
grep -v "^ " | sed -e 's|install ok installed|ii|g'

the output from dpkg -l is a pseudo standard, that's why any replacement
should imho, in the default case, not provide less information than that.
