Probably the netcfg package, wireless.c:
| int netcfg_wireless_show_essids(struct debconfclient *client, struct netcfg_interface *interface)
[…]
| /* Create list of available ESSIDs. */
| for (network = network_list.result; network; network = network->next) {
| if (!exists_in_network_list(network_list, network)) {
| strcat(buffer, network->b.essid);
| strcat(buffer, ", ");
| }
| }
