OK, not so easy:

convert:~# dpkg -S /usr/bin/w
dpkg: /usr/bin/w not found.

convert:~# dpkg -S /usr/bin/who
shellutils: /usr/bin/who

convert:~# l /usr/bin/w
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Sep  9 19:47 /usr/bin/w ->
/etc/alternatives/w
convert:~# l /etc/alternatives/w
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Oct  7 11:04 /etc/alternatives/w
-> /usr/bin/w.procps

convert:~# l /usr/bin/w.procps 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         8732 Oct  6 07:24 /usr/bin/w.procps
convert:~# dpkg -S /usr/bin/w.procps
procps: /usr/bin/w.procps
