There might be a dpkg command to tell you this but I'm not sure what it is
either (if it exists). I use this:
ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/procmail.list
Every package has a filelist and that listing appears to be generated at
install time, so the timestamp on the .list file is the date at which you
installed a package.
