If and only if the said package/version still exists in one of your sources.
Otherwise it's reported as:
$ apt-cache policy linux-image-3.7.0-5-generic
linux-image-3.7.0-5-generic:
Installed: 3.7.0-5.13
Candidate: 3.7.0-5.13
Version table:
*** 3.7.0-5.13 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Or a slightly more descriptive name in Synaptic is "local or obsolete"
** Summary changed:
