querying install times on packages

[Rob Benton]

Recently I ran into a problem on my machine at home.  I had made an 
update of several packages and something went wrong.  What I need is a 
way to query all installed packages by their install date.  I couldn't 
find any existing tools like dselect, synaptic, or aptitude that would 
let me do this.  The only thing I can think of is writing a perl script 
using the output of `dpkg -s` on every installed package.  This would 
take a long time for sure.  I didn't see any packages or docs on 
functions used inside dpkg.  Is there another way to do this b/c I don't 
want to re-invent the wheel.
