the output for this shows:

======
nodejs:
  Installed: 4.8.2~dfsg-1
  Candidate: 4.8.2~dfsg-1
  Version table:
 *** 4.8.2~dfsg-1 500
        500 http://http.debian.net/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
======


I also tried 'dpkg -s' as you suggested. The output was:

======
Package: nodejs
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: web
Installed-Size: 13928
Maintainer: Debian Javascript Maintainers <pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.de

...
