I was looking at the man page again and noticed that in the beginning it says "unpacked" means "The package is unpacked, but not configured". However, the section which states "dpkg --configure package ... | -a | --pending . . . Reconfigure an unpacked package. If -a or --pending is given instead of package, all unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured" is misleading. In particular the sentence "Reconfigure an unpacked package", as you could not reconfigure something that has not been configured. I think changing "Reconfigure" to "Configure" would be clearer.
