Patrick

Are you sure these are really zip'ed?

To answer your specific question: you have to look in Contents or
perhaps a gzipped version of Contents to find where a file is. On
my machine, I find zip and unzip, and look for zip and unzip in
this manner.

$cd /var/local/debian/dists/slink/
$zgrep usr/bin/unzip Contents-i386.gz
usr/bin/unzip
non-free/utils/unzip
usr/bin/unzipsfx
non-free/utils/unzip
$
$zgrep usr/bin/zip Contents-i386.gz
usr/bin/zip
non-free/utils/zip
usr/bin/zipgrep
non-free/utils/unzip
usr/bin/zipinfo
non-free/utils/unzip
usr/bin/zipnote
non-free/utils/zip
usr/bin/zipsplit
non-free/utils/zip
$
