I dont think it is possibe. AFAIK apt-cache search pattern do a search at
/var/state/apt/lists/
/var/state/apt/lists/partial/ for package info
( When you do an apt-get update package info at these place is
modified) . Informaton regarding contents of .deb package is not kept
here ( It is kept in the package itself)
Gurus please correct me if I am wrong
