Assuming you are on an amd64 system, then this:

apt-cache show linux-image-amd64

The package 'linux-image-amd64' is a meta package which always depend on
the latest available linux-image-* package for the architecture (in this
case, amd64).

If you are interested in knowing which repository in your sources.list
has that package available, then you want this:

apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64
