Maybe so, but the fact is that the file does not contain information about all packages installed to my system. (apt 2.0.4 (amd64) / Ubuntu 20.04)

$ grep -c '^Package:' /var/lib/apt/extended_states
698
$ dpkg -l | grep ^ii | wc -l
1893

My file contains only records for packages that are automatically installed for some reason. (All records have "Auto-Installed: 1")

apt-mark showmanual works anyway.
