I was pleased to find this trick, but now that I'm actually trying to
use it, I find it only works on packages already installed on your
system; it doesn't search your repositories, which is the trick I needed.
For that you'll need apt-file, or use the web form at
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
Ah, "apt-file"! That was the tool I vaguely remembered using in the past
(but couldn't think of in the heat of actually needing the tool). Thanks!
