Thanks -- dumpsys package gave me what I wanted to know.
For those who may want to do something similar (or just poke around),
"adb shell dumpsys package" dumps info on all the apps/packages on the
box. "adb shell dumpsys package com.some.package" dumps info on just
the specified app. Redirecting ("> dumpsys.txt") is recommended, so
you can browse the results in a text file, especially with the first
command above.
