Why isn't 'ls' included as a package when I list all Debian packages installed?

When I list all packages with:

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > ~/Desktop/packages

the 'ls' command is not included. Is this because it is a GNU program and is bundled with Linux?

Excuse my naivety here. Thanks

  • The ls command is part of the coreutils package.
