dpkg --list will list all packages with status (ii) is installed....

So dpkg --list|grep ii|less is a way to do it... or dpkg --list|grep
packagename and then look for its status.

Also, if command line is daunting apt-get install synaptic  .  This is a
GUI interface for debian package system and is rather nice.  You can click
a button to view installed/not installed/upgradable and the likes as well
as install/remove/upgrade packages and do updates and such.
