Package spelunking

Suppose I wanted to find out what files were installed by a particular
package.  I know I can do

$ dpkg -L <packagename>

if the package is already installed, but how would I do this if a
particular package isn't installed?

I don't see any options like this in apt-get or apt-cache.

--wpd
