What is the output of the command

  grep  'Status:' /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -v installed

? You could try to remove the annoying entries, e.g., with an emacs kbd macro.
But, I would try the macro first on a copy of the file /var/lib/dpkg/status and
make a backup of the original before using the edited file.
