G'day James, I followed your example to see what was counter-intuitive
but as "apt-cache search freetype" doesn't show the version number I ran
a different command (there is no "freetype" package in the current
Debian system), shown below, the output of which seemed quite clear to
me, so I genuinely would like to know what was counter-intuitive.
$ apt-cache show freetype2
Package: freetype2
Priority: optional
Section: oldlibs
Installed-Size: 52
Maintainer: Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: all
Source: freetype1
Version: 1.4pre.20011029-1
Depends: libttf2
Filename: pool/main/f/freetype1/freetype2_1.4pre.20011029-1_all.deb

Description: Dummy package for transition to libttf2.
This dummy package provides a transition from the previous FreeType 1
package (freetype2 [sic]) to libttf2. It may be safely removed once
all the packages are re-built with correct dependency to libttf2.
