List number of packages available / installed
 
In Synaptic manager, the status bar shows the number of packages installed, and the number available in the repositories. I'm looking to get these numbers from the command line.

Well, I know apt-cache stats will get the number available. Maybe something like this for the number installed:
Code:
dpkg --get-selections | awk '$2=="install" {print $1}' | wc -l
