Do you mean on disk or in memory? If you mean on disk, everything is in /var/lib/dpkg. If you're familiar with the /var/lib/dpkg/status file and /var/lib/dpkg/<package>.* control files, then you know how to think about packages the same way dpkg does. (Yes, diversions, alternatives, triggers, and packages available for installation through dselect are tracked separately, but they follow the same model.)
