I'm seeing this in Precise still:

dpkg output to show packages are installed:
$ sudo dpkg -l | grep fgl
ii  fglrx-amdcccle-updates                 2:8.911-0ubuntu1                     
        Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators
ii  fglrx-updates                          2:8.911-0ubuntu1                     
        Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators

Then a fairly non-specific search for fglrx:

$ sudo aptitude search fglrx

If I search for fglrx-updates specifically though, it shows up as
installed:

$ sudo aptitude search fglrx-updates
i   fglrx-updates                                                               
                   - Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators
