What did you do to try and figure this out on your own?
I went to packages.debian.org and there's a simple web form for searching
package contents for files. Then I went to the "User Documentation" page
at www.debian.org, looked at the Debian Reference, and there in Chapter 6,
_Debian Package Management_, under 6.4.1, "Information on a file", it
tells us about dpkg -S. Alternately, I googled on `debian what package
contains a file' and the very first link returned gave me that chapter of
the Debian Reference.
Finally, another piece of info, not easily gleaned from the above:
cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
grep cmd_i_wanna_find *.list
will also work.
