Ok, again talking through my hat.  I miss-remembered  apt-file as
apt-cache.. So sure was I that it was the one I was after, I didn't
look at notes I took some time ago about how to find the package
belonging to a file.

I think I might even have know `dpkg -S /path/to/file once upon a
time.

Thank you sir for banging those commands home.  And very handy they are.
