Use
apt-cache show PACKAGE
to see the description and some other information about package after its installed
dpkg -L package_name
to see what files the package contains.

The second hint with listing the package content ie. files doesn't work for me. It always saysdpkg-query: package 'package_name' is not installedso it can't be used for inspecting the file before installing it. Theapt-fileutility seems to be a more viable option for that, although I can't refer from my own experience yet.

For similar tasks, the package management system ATP (the Advanced Package Tool) provide several solutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool).
apt-cache showpkg package_name
Description taken from here https://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-cache
showpkg displays information about the packages listed on the command
line. Remaining arguments are package names. The available versions
and reverse
dependencies of each package listed are listed, as well as forward dependencies for each version. Forward (normal) dependencies
are those packages upon
which the package in question depends; reverse dependencies are those packages that depend upon the package in question. Thus,
forward dependencies must
be satisfied for a package, but reverse dependencies need not be. For instance, apt-cache showpkg libreadline2 would produce
output similar to the
following
$ apt-cache showpkg javacc
Package: javacc
Versions:
5.0-5 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.ru.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/apt/lists/httpredir.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-am)

Java Compiler-Compiler (JavaCC) is (according to sun)
"the most popular parser generator" for use with Java [tm]
applications.

A parser generator is a tool that reads a grammar specification
and converts it to a Java program that can recognize matches to

apt-cache's madison command attempts to mimic the output format and
a subset of the functionality of the Debian archive management

information for the architecture for which APT has retrieved
package lists (APT::Architecture).

apt-cache's madison command attempts to mimic the output format and
a subset of the functionality of the Debian archive management
tool, madison. It displays available versions of a package in a
tabular format. Unlike the original madison, it can only display
information for the architecture for which APT has retrieved
package lists (APT::Architecture).

For similar tasks, the package management system ATP (the Advanced Package Tool) provide several solutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool).
apt-cache showpkg package_name
Description taken from here https://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-cache
showpkg displays information about the packages listed on the command
line. Remaining arguments are package names. The available versions
and reverse
dependencies of each package listed are listed, as well as forward dependencies for each version. Forward (normal) dependencies
are those packages upon
which the package in question depends; reverse dependencies are those packages that depend upon the package in question. Thus,
forward dependencies must
be satisfied for a package, but reverse dependencies need not be. For instance, apt-cache showpkg libreadline2 would produce
output similar to the
following

Description-en: Parser generator for use with Java
Java Compiler-Compiler (JavaCC) is (according to sun)
"the most popular parser generator" for use with Java [tm]
applications.
.
A parser generator is a tool that reads a grammar specification
and converts it to a Java program that can recognize matches to
the grammar. In addition to the parser generator itself, JavaCC
provides other standard capabilities related to parser
generation such as tree building (via a tool called JJTree
included with JavaCC), actions, debugging, etc.

apt-cache policy package_name
This is meant to help debug issues relating to the preferences file.
With no arguments it will print out the priorities of each source.
Otherwise it prints out detailed information about the priority
selection of the named package.

apt-cache madison package_name
apt-cache's madison command attempts to mimic the output format and
a subset of the functionality of the Debian archive management
tool, madison. It displays available versions of a package in a
tabular format. Unlike the original madison, it can only display
information for the architecture for which APT has retrieved
package lists (APT::Architecture).
$ apt-cache madison javacc
