[gnome-shell] Handle previously installed dpkgs

[Owen Taylor <otaylor src gnome org>]

commit 7995f75cfbc54811490fac8ab95ee065d00c3bb7

    Handle previously installed dpkgs
    
    Checking return code of dpkg --status doesn't handle removed files
    properly. Get the text status of the package instead and make sure
    that it is 'installed'.
