Please read Will's text again, more slowly.  I've trimmed it down to
the relevant bit.

Also, you can examine the list of files in a package.  If the package
is installed, dpkg -L works.  Otherwise, you can look on the web.
<https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/kbd/filelist> lists them,
for this particular case.

You've been using Debian long enough that you should know how to do
these things without needing this level of hand-holding.
